+### Breaking changes
+
+### Grafana 8 Alerting enabled by default for installations that do not use legacy alerting
+
+Starting with Grafana v8.3.0, if you have **not** explicitly disabled unified alerting and **do not** have legacy alerts set up you are automatically "migrated" to Grafana 8 Alerting.
+
+A migration **from legacy to Grafana 8 Alerting** will never incur a data loss, as the previous data is kept around for rollback purposes. However, going from **Grafana 8 Alerting to legacy alerting** will delete all the data created for Grafana 8 Alerting. It is recommended that you **backup your database** before attempting a migration between systems.

+Issue [#42200](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/42200)
+
+### Keep Last State for "If execution error or timeout" when upgrading to Grafana 8 alerting
+
+In Grafana 8.3.0-beta2 we changed how alert rules that use `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` are upgraded from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. In 8.3.0-beta1 and earlier, alert rules with `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` were changed to `Alerting` when upgrading from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. However, in 8.3.0-beta2 these alert rules are now upgraded to a new option called `Error`. With this option, on encountering an error evaluating an alert rule, Grafana creates a special alert called `DatasourceError` with the `rule_uid` and `ref_id` as labels and an annotation called `Error` with the error message.

+
+### Keep Last State for "If execution error or timeout" when upgrading to Grafana 8 alerting
+
+In Grafana 8.3.0-beta2 we changed how alert rules that use `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` are upgraded from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. In 8.3.0-beta1 and earlier, alert rules with `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` were changed to `Alerting` when upgrading from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. However, in 8.3.0-beta2 these alert rules are now upgraded to a new option called `Error`. With this option, on encountering an error evaluating an alert rule, Grafana creates a special alert called `DatasourceError` with the `rule_uid` and `ref_id` as labels and an annotation called `Error` with the error message.
