 ## Breaking Changes and Compatibility Notes
 
+### Initial AMQP 0-9-1 Maximum Frame Size
+
+Before a client connection can negotiate a maximum frame size (`frame_max`), it must authenticate
+successfully. Before the authenticated phase, a special lower `frame_max` value
+is used.
+
+With this release, the value was increased from the original 4096 bytes to 8192
+to accommodate larger [JWT tokens](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/oauth2).
+
+Clients that do override `frame_max` now must use values of 8192 bytes or greater.
+We recommend using the default server value of `131072`: do not override the `frame_max`
+key in `rabbitmq.conf` and do not set it in the application code.
