+[[breaking-changes-8.11]]
+=== 8.11
+
+The following breaking changes are introduced in APM version 8.11.0:
+
+- The `ecs.version` field has been removed from APM data streams.
+This change should not impact most users as this field is not used by the APM UI.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/11632[PR #11632]
+// end::811-bc[]

+[[breaking-changes-8.10]]
+=== 8.10
+
+The following breaking changes are introduced in APM version 8.10.0:
+
+- Aggregated metrics now consider global labels to be part of a service's identity, and high cardinality global labels may cause services to be obscured.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/11386[PR #11386].
+
+- Event protobuf encoding for tail-based sampling changed to a more efficient encoding for event timestamp and duration
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/11386[PR #11386].
+// end::810-bc[]

+[[breaking-changes-8.7]]
+=== 8.7
+
+The following breaking changes and deprecations are introduced in APM version 8.7.0:
+
+- `transaction.failure_count` has been removed. `transaction.success_count` type has changed to `aggregated_metric_double`.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9791[PR #9791].
+
+- `transaction.success_count` has been moved to `event.success_count`.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9819[PR #9819].
+
+- Stopped indexing transaction metrics to `metrics-apm.internal`.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9846[PR #9846].
+
+- Stopped indexing span destination metrics to `metrics-apm.internal`.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9926[PR #9926].
+
+- `apmserver.aggregation.txmetrics.overflowed` metric has been renamed to `apmserver.aggregation.txmetrics.overflowed.total`.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/10330[PR #10330].
+
+- Elasticsearch source mapping credentials now require access to the `.apm-source-map` index.
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9722[PR #9722].
+
+- Changed APM Server default host to `127.0.0.1`.

+[[breaking-changes-8.6]]
+=== 8.6
+
+The following breaking changes and deprecations are introduced in APM version 8.6.0:
+
+[float]
+==== `apm-server.decoder.*` no longer recorded
+The stack monitoring metrics, `apm-server.decoder.*`, are no longer recorded.
+These metrics were not used by stack monitoring, so there should be no noticeable change.
+
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9210[PR #9210].
+
+[float]
+==== `context.http.response.*_size` fields now enforce integer values
+New field mappings enforce integer values for `context.http.response.*_size`.
+The fields are mapped with `index: false` to minimize storage overhead.
+
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9429[PR #9429].
+
+[float]
+==== `observer.id` and `observer.ephemeral_id` removed
+
+`observer.id` and `observer.ephemeral_id` are no longer added to APM documents.
+The APM UI does not currently rely on these field, so there should be no noticeable change.
+
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9412[PR #9412].
+
+[float]
+==== `timeseries.instance` removed
+`timeseries.instance` has been removed from transaction metrics docs.
+The APM UI did not use this field, so there should be no noticeable change.
+
+For more details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/9565[PR #9565].
+
+// end::86-bc[]
+
+[float]
+[[breaking-changes-8.2]]
+=== 8.2
+
+// tag::82-bc[]
+The following breaking changes are introduced in APM version 8.2.0:
+
+[float]
+==== APM Server now emits events with `event.duration`
+
+APM Server no longer emits events with a `transaction.duration.us` or `span.duration.us`.
+Instead, events are emitted with an `event.duration`.
+An ingest pipeline sets the legacy `<event>.duration.us` field and removes the `event.duration`.
+
+This change will impact users who are not using APM Server's {es} output or the packaged ingest pipeline.
+For details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/7261[PR #7261].
+
+[float]
+==== Removed `observer.version_major`
+
+The field `observer.version_major` is non-standard and existed only for the APM UI to filter out legacy docs (versions <7.0).
+This check is no longer performed, so the field has been removed.
+
+For details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/7399[PR #7399].
+
+[float]
+==== APM Server no longer ships with System V init scripts or the go-daemon wrapper
+
+As of version 8.1.0, all Linux distributions supported by APM Server support systemd.
+As a result, APM Server no longer ships with System V init scripts or the go-daemon wrapper; use systemd instead.
+
+For details, see https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/7576[PR #7576].
+
+[float]
+==== Deprecated 32-bit architectures
+
+APM Server support for 32-bit architectures has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+// end::82-bc[]
+
+[float]

+[float]

+// tag::80-bc[]
+The following breaking changes are introduced in APM version 8.0.
+
+[float]
+==== Indices are now manged by {fleet}

+
+[float]
+==== New {es} output

+tune the output of APM Server.
+
+As a part of this change, the following settings have been removed:
+
+* `output.elasticsearch.bulk_max_size`
+* `output.elasticsearch.worker`
+* `queue.*`
+
+[float]
+==== New source map upload endpoint
+
+The source map upload endpoint has been removed from APM Server.
