+  - |
+    HAProxy's ``timeout http-keep-alive`` is now set via
+    ``haproxy_http_keep_alive_timeout``. The default is 10s, like the
+    previous default that applied via ``haproxy_http_request_timeout``,
+    but the new variable does not follow the old one so might need customising
+    if the former was customised for keep-alive purposes.
+    Do note the two values do not have to have the same value and often do not.
+    Please read the linked record for background.
