-<p>SOLR-15842: Async responses for backups now correctly aggregate and return information.
-In previous versions there was a field returned in async backup status responses, <code>Response</code>. This has now been renamed to <code>msg</code>, to better fit other collections API responses.
-The <code>response</code> field is now a map, containing information about the backup (<code>startTime</code>, <code>indexSizeMB</code>, <code>indexFileCount</code>, etc.).</p>

+<p>Implicit <code>/terms</code> handler now returns terms across all shards in SolrCloud instead of only the local core.
+Users/apps may be assuming the old behavior. A request can be modified via the standard <code>distrib=false</code> param to only use the local core receiving the request.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
-<p>SOLR-15944: The Tagger&#8217;s JSON response format now always uses an object/map to represent each tag instead of an array.</p>
+<p>SQL support has been moved to the sql module. Existing Solr configurations do not need any SQL related changes, however the module needs to be installed - see the section <a href="../query-guide/sql-query.html" class="xref page">SQL Query Language</a>.</p>

-<p>SOLR-16040: If you are using the HDFS backup repository, you need to change the repository class to <code>org.apache.solr.hdfs.backup.repository.HdfsBackupRepository</code> - see the <a href="../deployment-guide/backup-restore.html#hdfsbackuprepository" class="xref page">HDFS Backup Repository</a> section.</p>

+<p>The response format for field values serialized as raw XML (via the <code>[xml]</code> raw value DocTransformer
+and <code>wt=xml</code>) has changed. Previously, values were dropped in directly as top-level child elements of each <code>&lt;doc&gt;</code>,
+obscuring associated field names and yielding inconsistent <code>&lt;doc&gt;</code> structure. As of version 9.0, raw values are
+wrapped in a <code>&lt;raw name="field_name"&gt;[&#8230;&#8203;]&lt;/raw&gt;</code> element at the top level of each <code>&lt;doc&gt;</code> (or within an enclosing
+<code>&lt;arr name="field_name"&gt;&lt;raw&gt;[&#8230;&#8203;]&lt;/raw&gt;&lt;/arr&gt;</code> element for multi-valued fields). Existing clients that parse field
+values serialized in this way will need to be updated accordingly.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
-<p>SOLR-15950: The folder $SOLR_HOME/userfiles, used by the "cat" streaming expression, is no longer created automatically on startup. The user must create this folder.</p>
+<p>Highlighting: <code>hl.method=unified</code> is the new default.  Use <code>hl.method=original</code>
+to switch back if needed.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
-<p>SOLR-15097: JWTAuthPlugin has been moved to a module. Users need to add the module to classpath. The plugin has also
-changed package name to <code>org.apache.solr.security.jwt</code>, but can still be loaded as shortform <code>class="solr.JWTAuthPlugin"</code>.</p>
+<p>solr.xml <code>maxBooleanClauses</code> is now enforced recursively. Users who upgrade from prior versions of Solr may find that some requests involving complex internal query structures (Example: long query strings using <code>edismax</code> with many <code>qf</code> and <code>pf</code> fields that include query time synonym expansion) which worked in the past now hit this limit and fail. Users in this situation are advised to consider the complexity of their queries/configuration, and increase the value of <a href="../configuration-guide/configuring-solr-xml.html#global-maxbooleanclauses" class="xref page"><code>maxBooleanClauses</code></a> if warranted.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
-<p>SOLR-14401: Metrics: Only SearchHandler and subclasses have "local" metrics now.
-It&#8217;s now tracked as if it&#8217;s another handler with a "[shard]" suffix, e.g. "/select[shard]".
-There are no longer ".distrib." named metrics; all metrics are assumed to be such except
-"[shard]". The default Prometheus exporter config splits that component to a new label
-named "internal".  The sample Grafana dashboard now filters to include or exclude this.</p>
+<p>Atomic/partial updates to nested documents now <em>require</em> the <code>_root_</code> field to clearly show the document isn&#8217;t a root document.  Solr 8 would fallback on the <code>_route_</code> param but no longer.</p>

+<p>The property <code>blockUnknown</code> in the <code>BasicAuthPlugin</code> and the <code>JWTAuthPlugin</code> now defaults to <code>true</code> instead of <code>false</code>. This change is backward incompatible. If you need the pre-9.0 default behavior, you need to explicitly set <code>blockUnknown:false</code> in <code>security.json</code>.</p>

+<p>Solr now binds to localhost network interface by default for better out of the box security.
+Administrators that need Solr exposed more broadly can change the <code>SOLR_JETTY_HOST</code> property in their Solr include (<code>solr.in.sh</code>/<code>solr.in.cmd</code>) file.</p>

-The legacy behavior of expanding the 'expr' parameter can be reinstated with -DStreamingExpressionMacros=true passed to the JVM at startup</p>

-<p>SOLR-13324: URLClassifyProcessor#getCanonicalUrl now throws MalformedURLException rather than hiding it.
-Although the present code is unlikely to produce such an exception it may be possible in future changes or in subclasses.
-Currently this change should only effect compatibility of custom code overriding this method.</p>
+<p>Jetty low level request-logging in NCSA format is now enabled by default, with a retention of 3 days worth of logs.

You can revert to the pre-9.0 behaviour by setting environment variable <code>SOLR_SOLRXML_REQUIRED=true</code> or system property <code>-Dsolr.solrxml.required=true</code>. Solr also does not require a <code>zoo.cfg</code> in <code>$SOLR_HOME</code> if started with embedded zookeeper.</p>

It is defined by the <code>allowUrls</code> top-level property of the <code>solr.xml</code> file.

-to switch back if needed.</p>
+<p>To improve security, <code>StatelessScriptUpdateProcessorFactory</code> has been renamed as <code>ScriptUpdateProcessorFactory</code> and moved to <code>modules/scripting</code> package instead of shipping as part of Solr core.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
-<p>SOLR-12055 introduces async logging by default. There&#8217;s a small window where log messages may be lost in the event of some hard crash.
