+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+- Switch to vite@5.0.0-beta.0. There might some warnings, feel free to ignore them unless they are due to some breaking changes in Vite 5. Refer their [changelog](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/v5.0.0-beta.0/packages/vite/CHANGELOG.md#500-beta0-2023-08-24) for details.
+- `pathname://` protocol is dropped. Specify `target="_self"` or `target="_blank"` instead. Refer [docs](https://vitepress.dev/guide/routing#linking-to-non-vitepress-pages) to learn more.
+- Shiki's default theme is now changed to `github-light` and `github-dark`. If you want to use the old theme, you can set `markdown.theme` in your config to `'material-theme-palenight'`.
+- Internal logic of `isDark` is changed to use vueuse. It might impact your custom theme. You can customize its behavior using [`appearance`](https://vitepress.dev/reference/site-config#appearance) option.
+- Default theme's color system is updated to make it more easily customizable. Refer the [PR](https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress/pull/2797) for new variables.
