+
+Meaning of box.info.cluster
+===========================
+
+Option: ``box_info_cluster_meaning``
+
+Starting from version 3.0, the :ref:`box_info_cluster` table stores the information
+about the entire cluster. In earlier versions, it stored only the current replica set
+information. The ``box_info_cluster_meaning`` compat option in Tarantool 3.0 or later
+allows to rollback to the old meaning of ``box.info.cluster`` - display information
+about a single replica set.
+
+Old and new behavior
+--------------------
+
+New behavior: ``box.info.cluster`` displays information about the entire
+cluster with all its replica sets.
+
+..  code-block:: tarantoolsession
+

+      name: router-001
+    ...
+
+.. note::
+
+    In the new behavior, :ref:`box_info_replicaset` is equivalent to the old ``box.info.cluster``.
+
+Old behavior: ``box.info.cluster`` displays information about the current replica set.

+
+Known compatibility issues
+--------------------------
+
+``vshard`` versions earlier than 0.1.24 do not support the new behavior.
+
+
+Detecting issues in your codebase
+---------------------------------
+
+Look for all usages of ``box.info.cluster``, ``info.cluster``, and
+``.cluster``, ``['cluster']``, ``["cluster"]`` in the application code
+written before the change. To make it work the same way on Tarantool 3.0 or later,
+replace the ``cluster`` key with ``replicaset``.
