 published. Instead, it is published as `vector-<version>-1.armv7hl.rpm` to better follow RPM
 guidelines. If you are using `yum` to install the RPM, this change should be transparent.
 
+#### Default config location change {#default-config-location-change}
+
+The default config location is now `/etc/vector/vector.yaml` rather than `/etc/vector/vector.toml`.
+This is part of the migration to YAML as Vector's preferred configuration language (though TOML and
+JSON will still be supported for the forseeable future). If you need Vector to load
+`/etc/vector/vector.toml` you must now specify `--config /etc/vector/vector.toml` or
+`VECTOR_CONFIG=/etc/vector/vector.toml`
+
+See the associated [release highlight from v0.33.0](/highlights/2023-08-30-yaml-default-format) for
+more details on the motivation for migrating from TOML to YAML as the default configuration
+language.
