+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.
