+RabbitMQ `3.10.25` is a maintenance release in the `3.10.x` [release series](https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html).
+
+This series [**reaches its end of community support** on July 31st, 2023](https://rabbitmq.com/versions.html).
+
+Please refer to the upgrade section from [v3.10.0 release notes](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.10.0)
+if upgrading from a version prior to 3.10.0.
+
+This release **requires Erlang 24.3** and supports Erlang 25.
+[RabbitMQ and Erlang/OTP Compatibility Matrix](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html) has more details on
+Erlang version requirements for RabbitMQ.
+
+
+### Minimum Supported Erlang Version
+
+Erlang versions older than 24.3 have reached [end of support](https://www.rabbitmq.com/which-erlang.html).
+
+This release of RabbitMQ [requires Erlang 24.3.4.8](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-packaging/pull/35)
+or later versions. Nodes **will fail to start** on older Erlang releases.
+
+Erlang 25.3 is recommended: it offers much improved performance on ARM64 architectures, [profiling with flame graphs](https://blog.rabbitmq.com/posts/2022/05/flame-graphs/)
+across all architectures, and the most recent TLS 1.3 implementation.
