+Before updating GitLab, review the details carefully to determine if you need to make any

+
+To reduce the overall complexity and maintenance burden of GitLab's [object storage feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/object_storage.html), support for using `background_upload` to upload files is deprecated and will be fully removed in GitLab 15.0.
+
+This impacts a small subset of object storage providers:
+
+- **OpenStack** Customers using OpenStack need to change their configuration to use the S3 API instead of Swift.
+- **RackSpace** Customers using RackSpace-based object storage need to migrate data to a different provider.
+
+GitLab will publish additional guidance to assist affected customers in migrating.

+
+The `user_email_lookup_limit` [API field](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/settings.html) is deprecated and will be removed in GitLab 15.0. Until GitLab 15.0, `user_email_lookup_limit` is aliased to `search_rate_limit` and existing workflows will continue to work.
+
+Any API calls attempting to change the rate limits for `user_email_lookup_limit` should use `search_rate_limit` instead.
