+
+TechDocs has dropped all support for the long-ago deprecated git-based common
+prepares as well as all corresponding values in `backstage.io/techdocs-ref`
+annotations.
+
+Entities whose `backstage.io/techdocs-ref` annotation values still begin with
+`github:`, `gitlab:`, `bitbucket:`, or `azure/api:` will no longer be generated
+by TechDocs. Be sure to update these values so that they align with their
+expected format and your usage of TechDocs.
+
+For details, see [this explainer on TechDocs ref annotation values][how].

+The recommended value for a `backstage.io/techdocs-ref` annotation is now
+`dir:.`, indicating "documentation source files are located in the same
+directory relative to the catalog entity." Note that `url:<location>` values
+are still supported.
