+This release contains breaking changes to the `Block#Header`, specifically
+`NumTxs` and `TotalTxs` were removed (\#2521). Here's how this change affects
+different modules:
+
+- apps: it breaks the ABCI header field numbering
+- state: it breaks the format of `State` on disk
+- RPC: all RPC requests which expose the header broke
+- Go API: the `Header` broke
+- P2P: since blocks go over the wire, technically the P2P protocol broke
+
