 Please only update coming from 14.0.0+33.0.7-fpm.
 
 Last release of the nextcloud recipe for versio 33 with a rolling version.
+
+Upgrades Nextcloud from 33 to 34.0.2 (major version upgrade).
+
+IMPORTANT:
+- Check your current version is up-to-date with 
+  `abra app cmd <app-name> app check_major_upgrade` before updating to this version
+- Nextcloud does NOT support downgrades. Take a backup before deploying.
+- Do not skip major versions: your instance must be on the latest 33.x before
+  upgrading to 34.0.2. If you are on an older 33.x, deploy 33.0.7 first.
+- After deploying, check the logs and run any pending repair/upgrade steps:
+  `abra app cmd <app> app run_occ '"app:update --all"'`
+- Review app (plug-in) compatibility with Nextcloud 34.0.2 before upgrading; some
+  apps may need to be updated or temporarily disabled.
