 ## [Unreleased]
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The new slide container styles, `block` container and safe centering, produce breaking changes to existing slide layouts. ([#382](https://github.com/marp-team/marp-core/pull/382))
+>
+> If you are using the built-in theme that contents are vertically centered (or the custom theme that depends on such themes), you can tweak the style in Markdown or the custom theme to get back the previous `flex` container.
+>
+> - For `default` and `uncover` theme:
+>
+>   ```html
+>   <style>
+>     section {
+>       display: flex;
+>     }
+>   </style>
+>   ```
+>
+> - For `gaia` theme's `lead` class:
+>
+>   ```html
+>   <style>
+>     section.lead {
+>       display: flex;
+>     }
