 This release includes a new `--enable-feature=` flag that enables
 experimental features. Such features might be changed or removed in the future.
 
+In the next minor release (2.26), Prometheus will use the Alertmanager API v2.
+It will be done by defaulting `alertmanager_config.api_version` to `v2`.
+Alertmanager API v2 was released in Alertmanager v0.16.0 (released in January
+2019).
