 ## Releases
 
-The latest release is [release 1.8.4-post2](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.8.4-post2), and as always, it might have a few bugs. Should you encounter one of those creatures, please report it with [a GitHub issue](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/issues/new/choose) and use release [1.8.3](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.8.2) or [1.7.2](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.7.2).
+The latest release is [release 1.9.0](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.9.0). It contains tons of new features, and although we ran the most extensive integration tests ever, it might still have a few bugs.

 ## Breaking changes
 
 (release-1.9.0-breaking)=
 ### Release 1.9.0
 
-* OSPF is no longer disabled in VRFs using EVPN symmetric IRB. That might break existing lab topologies using OSPF routers connected to EVPN-backed VLANs configured in IRB mode. If needed, disable OSPF in a VRF with **ospf: False**.
 * The [Graphite](tools-graphite) configuration file format has changed to adapt to the changes made to the [netreplica/graphite](https://github.com/netreplica/graphite) tool. If your browser fails to display the lab topology, reload the page or clear the browser cache.
+* OSPF is no longer disabled in VRFs using EVPN symmetric IRB. That might break existing lab topologies using OSPF routers connected to EVPN-backed VLANs configured in IRB mode. If needed, disable OSPF in a VRF with **ospf: False**.
+* The link transformation module sets the link **role** to **stub** on all non-VLAN/non-loopback links with no preset role and a single router to make the behavior in multi-provider topologies identical to the behavior in single-provider topologies. This might impact topologies that define the **stub** addressing pool, as these links will now get their IP prefixes from the **stub** pool.
+* Cumulus Linux containers are deprecated. While they will continue to work, we won't do any integration tests on them. Use FRRouting containers.
+* We will probably change the Cumulus Linux VM version to 5.9 in the future, assuming we can still use direct ifupdown and FRR configuration.
