+## 8.0.0-alpha.3
+
+This is the third Alpha release of the v8 cycle, which includes a variety of breaking changes.
+
+Read the [in-depth migration guide](./MIGRATION.md) to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code.
+
+### Important Changes
+
+- **feat: Set required node version to >=14.18.0 for all packages (#10968)**
+
+The minimum Node version required for the SDK is now `14.18.0`.
+
+- **Serverless SDK Changes**
+  - feat(google-cloud): Add @sentry/google-cloud package (#10993)
+  - feat(v8): Add @sentry/aws-serverless package (#11052)
+  - feat(v8): Rename gcp package to `@sentry/google-cloud-serverless` (#11065)
+
+`@sentry/serverless` is no longer published, and is replaced by two new packages: `@sentry/google-cloud-serverless` and
+`@sentry/aws-serverless`. These packages are now the recommended way to instrument serverless functions. See the
+[migration guide](./MIGRATION.md#sentryserverless) for more details.
+
+- **build(bundles): Use ES2017 for bundles (drop ES5 support) (#10911)**
+
+The Browser SDK and CDN bundles now emits ES2017 compatible code and drops support for IE11. This also means that the
+Browser SDKs (`@sentry/browser`, `@sentry/react`, `@sentry/vue`, etc.) requires the fetch API to be available in the
+environment. If you need to support older browsers, please transpile your code to ES5 using babel or similar and add
+required polyfills.
+
+New minimum supported browsers:
+
+- Chrome 58
+- Edge 15
+- Safari/iOS Safari 11
+- Firefox 54
+- Opera 45
+- Samsung Internet 7.2
