Release Notes

This is a breaking change that enables easier Advanced Search migrations for upgrading GitLab.

Customers will need complete all Advanced Search migrations before upgrading to the latest major version https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/search/advanced_search_migration_styleguide.html#deleting-advanced-search-migrations-in-a-major-version-upgrade
