If upgrading from a`3.7.x` release, see [3.8.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.8.0)
upgrade and compatibility notes first.
If upgrading from a `3.6.x` or older [release series](https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html), first upgrade
to [`3.7.27`](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.7.27) and then to this version.
