 Zeek 5.2.0
 ==========
 
+Breaking Changes
+----------------
+
+- Zeekctl now assigns network ports to workers starting at port 27760. This
+  fixes an issue where workers were starting up with ports within Linux's
+  ephemeral port range, and were potentiall failing to startup due the ports
+  already being in use. This change may require changes in firewall/routing
+  configurations between hosts in a Zeek cluster. This should not affect
+  clusters running on FreeBSD, as that OS uses a different range for ephemeral
+  ports.
