+## Upgrading to v1.14.0-alpha
+
+Starting with v1.14.0-alpha, the fully knot uses the repoDID as its
+canonical handle for repositories. This unlocks repository
+renames from the appview UI and changes the wire format for
+the following lexicons (`sh.tangled.repo.pull`, `sh.tangled.repo.collaborator`,
+`sh.tangled.repo.issue`, `sh.tangled.git.refUpdate`).
+
+Knots that have not been upgraded may silently drop new push
+events, pull requests, issues, and collaborator invites for
+repositories they host until upgraded. So upgrade please!!!
+
+- Upgrade to the latest tag (v1.14.0 or above)
