+Read before updating
+--------------------
+
+#. We are planning to remove support for Red on systems using the **armv7l** architecture in **Red 3.6.0**.
+   The support for other architectures (**x86-64** and **aarch64**) will remain unchanged per our existing `end-user-guarantees`.
+
+   If you have any concerns regarding this, please reach out to us on `our discord server <https://discord.gg/red>`__.
+
+#. Information for Audio users that are using an external Lavalink instance (if you don't know what that is, you should skip this point):
+
+    -   Red 3.5.23 uses a new Lavalink jar that you will need to manually update from `our GitHub <https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Lavalink-Jars/releases/tag/3.7.13%2Bred.2>`__.
+    -   We've updated our default application.yml file and you should update your instance's ``application.yml`` accordingly.
+
+        More specifically, we bumped the version of YT source plugin.

+
+#. Following operating systems are no longer supported as they have already reached their end of life:
+
