+## Serializer integration
+
+In version 2, zend-mvc exposed a `SerializerAdapterManager` service by default, and
+provided specifications to zend-modulemanager's `ServiceListener`
+to allow modules to provide serializer configuration.
+
+This functionality is now removed from zend-mvc. It is now exposed directly by
+the [zend-serializer](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-serializer) component
+itself. To add it, install zend-serializer
+
+```bash
+$ composer require zendframework/zend-serializer
+```
+
+Note: the above assumes you have already installed zend-component-installer, per
+the section above on [dependency reduction](#dependency-reduction).
