+
+Deprecation warnings and incoming removal
+-----------------------------------------
+* Drop add-osd.yml playbook, it will be replaced by main playbook with --limit option.
+* Ceph Ansible doesn’t configure ISCSI gateways anymore. This should be done manually or via the Ceph Dashboard UI.
+
+Major changes from stable-3.2
+-----------------------------
+
+* Updating the Ceph ISCSI major version from 2.x to 3.x.
+* Beast is the default radosgw frontend instead of Civetweb.
+* Due to ceph-disk removal then there’s no collocated and non-collocated OSD scenarios anymore. The default scenario is always lvm (ceph-volume) which can be used with or without the batch mode.
+
+Notable changes from stable-3.2
+-------------------------------
+
+* Updating the NFS Ganesha minor version from V2.7 to V2.8.
+* The ceph-docker role has been split into two different roles: ceph-container-engine and ceph-container-common.
