+Important Notes
+---------------
+
+
+*WARNING:* Upgrading to 2.12.x requires the server be first upgraded to 2.8 (or
+2.9) and then to 2.12.x. If you are upgrading from 2.8.x or later, you may ignore
+this warning and upgrade directly to 2.12.x.
+
+*WARNING:* When upgrading from version 2.8.4 or older with a site that uses
+Bouncy Castle Crypto, new versions of the libraries will be downloaded. The old
+libraries should be manually removed from site's `lib` folder to prevent the
+startup failure described in
+link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3084[Issue 3084].
