+# Migration Guide
+
+## Description
+
+The following guide highlights potential migration steps necessary during `theia` upgrades discovered when adopting the framework.
+Please see the latest version (`master`) for the most up-to-date information.
+
+## Guide
+
+### v1.16.0
+
+[Release](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/releases/tag/v1.16.0)
+
+- N/A.
+
+### v1.15.0
+
+[Release](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/releases/tag/v1.15.0)
+
+#### Keytar:
+
+- [`keytar`](https://github.com/atom/node-keytar) was added as a dependency for the secrets API. and may require `libsecret` in your particular distribution to be functional:
+  - Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev`
+  - Red Hat-based: `sudo yum install libsecret-devel`
+  - Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S libsecret`
+- It is possible that a `yarn resolution` is necessary for `keytar` to work on older distributions (the fix was added in `1.16.0` by downgrading the dependency version):
+  
+  ```json
+  "resolutions": {
+    "**/keytar": "7.6.0",
+  }
+  ```
+
+- `keytar` uses [`prebuild-install`](https://github.com/prebuild/prebuild-install) to download prebuilt binaries. If you are experiencing issues where some shared libraries are missing from the system it was originally built upon, you can tell `prebuild-install` to build the native extension locally by setting the environment variable before performing `yarn`:
+
+  ```sh
+  # either:
+  export npm_config_build_from_source=true
+  yarn
+  # or:
+  npm_config_build_from_source=true yarn
+  ```
+
+#### Webpack
+
+- The version of webpack was upgraded from 4 to 5 and may require additional shims to work properly given an application's particular setup.
+- The `webpack` dependency may need to be updated if there are errors when performing a `production` build of the application due to a bogus `webpack-sources` dependency. The valid `webpack` version includes `^5.36.2 <5.47.0`. If necessary, you can use a `yarn resolution` to fix the issue:
+
+  ```json
+  "resolutions": {
+    "**/webpack": "5.46.0",
+  }
+  ```
+
