 - **Alpakka 2.0 updates dependencies for most connectors.**
 - **Alpakka 2.0 requires Akka 2.5.31 or Akka 2.6.4.** We recommend upgrading your projects to the latest versions of Akka.
-- Many Alpakka APIs haven't changed since Alpakka 1.0. We hope adapting to the changes will be easy. For the time being we don't have dedicated migration guides. Please reach out in the [Discuss forum](https://discuss.lightbend.com/c/akka/streams-and-alpakka) if you run into problems.
