+## Upgrading from v0.50.0-rc.z-0
+
+If you have started integrating with v0.50.0-rc.0, this release candidate contains one breaking change.
+This is contrary to our usual policy of not introducing breaking changes in release candidates, but we believe this change is necessary to ensure a smooth upgrade from previous SDK version to v0.50.0. Additionally, it gives a better UX for users integrating vote extensions. Read more about the change [here](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/main/docs/architecture/adr-068-preblock.md).
+
+Update your app.go / app_config.go as instructed in the [UPGRADING.md](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/release/v0.50.x/UPGRADING.md#set-preblocker).
