+amd64-microcode (3.20230808.1) unstable; urgency=high
+
+    This release requires *either* new-enough system firmware, *or* a
+    recent-enough Linux kernel to properly work on AMD Genoa and Bergamo
+    processors.
+
+    The firmware requirement is AGESA 1.0.0.8 or newer.
+
+    The Linux kernel requirement is a group of patches that are already
+    present in the Linux stable/LTS trees since versions: v4.19.289,
+    v5.4.250, v5.10.187, v5.15.120, v6.1.37, v6.3.11 and v6.4.1.  These
+    patches are also present in Linux v6.5-rc1.

+amd64-microcode (2.20141028.1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+    This release drops support for automatically applying microcode updates
+    without a reboot.  The microcode updates can still be applied without a
+    reboot through manual action of the system administrator.
+
+    This is a defensive measure.  At this time, there are no reported
+    issues caused by the AMD microcode update itself when done outside of
+    the boot process.
+
+    However, updating only on boot works around a very elusive issue in
+    the Linux kernel microcode update driver for AMD processors, which
+    may or may not have been fixed in the latest stable/long-term
+    kernels.
+
+    It is now possible to configure how the amd64-microcode package should
+    behave through the /etc/default/amd64-microcode file.  By default, it
+    will install microcode update support to the initramfs only when
+    running in a system with an AMD processor.
