+## Breaking Changes
+
+- Node.js 8 is no longer supported; Node.js 10.13.0 is now the minimum required version, as per many of nwb's dependencies.
+- Removed support for deprecated `babel.stage` and `webpack.uglify` config.
+- Removed default polyfills for `Promise`, `fetch()` and `Object.assign()` and deprecated `polyfill` config.
+  - If you need to support older browsers, you will need to provide the necessary polyfills yourself.
+  - The [react-app-polyfill](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/tree/master/packages/react-app-polyfill#react-app-polyfill) module provides polyfills for IE 9-11, and for stable language features - its instructions also work for apps using nwb.
+- file-loader v6.0.0 [changed its default hashing algorithm](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/file-loader/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#600-2020-03-17).
+
+## Dependencies

 ### What can I configure to reduce bundle size?
 
-#### Disable default polyfills
-
-If you don't need the `Promise`, `fetch` and `Object.assign` polyfills nwb provides by default, configuring [`polyfill: false`](/docs/Configuration.md#polyfill-boolean) (or passing a [`--no-polyfill` flag](/docs/guides/QuickDevelopment.md#options-for-run-and-build-commands) when using Quick Development commands) will shave ~4KB off the gzipped vendor bundle.
-
 #### Enable cherry-picking for destructuring imports
 
 If you're using destructuring imports with libraries like React Router and React Bootstrap (e.g. `import {Button} from 'react-bootstrap'`), you're bundling the whole library, instead of just the bits you need.
