 * The storage overrides for configuring per-broker storage class are not supported anymore.
   If you are using the storage overrides, you should instead use multiple KafkaNodePool resources with a different storage class each.
   For more details about migrating from storage overrides, please follow the [documentation](https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/0.45.0/full/deploying.html#con-config-storage-zookeeper-str).
+* Because of the corresponding configuration changes, the 0.32.0 is the minimum HTTP bridge release working with the Strimzi operator 0.46.0.
+  * If you have an Apache Kafka cluster running together with an HTTP bridge instance, please upgrade the bridge after upgrading the operator.
 
 ## 0.45.0
