+Vector's 0.38.0 release includes a **breaking change**:
+
+1. [Vector now requires mandatory environment variables](#strict-env-vars)
+
+and **deprecations**:
+
+1. [Deprecation of undefined environment variable warnings](#strict-env-vars)
+1. [Deprecation of `enterprise` configuration](#enterprise-configuration)
+
+We cover them below to help you upgrade quickly:
+
+## Upgrade guide
+
+### Breaking Change
+
+#### Vector now requires mandatory environment variables {#strict-env-vars}
+
+Vector has the ability to [interpolate environment variables into its
+configuration](/docs/reference/configuration/#environment-variables) as a means of templating
+configuration. Now, if an environment variable is undefined, and no default is set, Vector will
+output an error and stop. To set a default, use the `-` interpolation syntax.
+
+If you want to have Vector start-up even if an environment variable is undefined you can provide
+a default like `${FOO-bar}` to default `FOO` to `bar` if it is unset.
+
+The reason for this change is that users often miss the undefined variable warning and are confused
+by Vector not behaving as the expected. Certain characters need to be escaped in regex capture
+groups to avoid interpolation. For example, instead of using `$1`, you need to add an escape as
+`$$1`.
+
+### Deprecations
+
+#### Path coalescing is deprecated {#path-coalescing}
+
+Coalescing of field lookup paths (e.g. `.(field1|field2)`) are deprecated and will be removed in
+a future version. This feature did not seem to be used much and significantly complicates the parts
+of the codebase.
+
+If you were using this feature, you can accomplish the same through conditionals like:
+
+```vrl
+field = if exists(.field1) {
+  .field1
+} else if exists(.field2) {
+  .field2
+}
+```
+
+#### Deprecation of `enterprise` configuration {#enterprise-configuration}
+
+The `enterprise` global configuration option that was used to integrate Vector with the Datadog
+Observability Pipelines product has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Vector version.
+Please reach out to Datadog support if you are impacted by this.
