+  The default version of PHP has been switched from 8.3 to 8.4.
+
+  If you use binary packages you should make a list of php packages
+  before running 'pkg upgrade':
+
+  # pkg info \*php83\* > ~/installed-php-ports-list
+
+  After the upgrade, check with such list if all your php extensions
+  are still installed, and reinstall them if needed.
+
+  If you use mod_php83 you need to deinstall it and install mod_php84.
