+# Upgrading to v14.0
+
+The v14.0 release of *kubernetes-engine* is a backwards incompatible
+release for some versions of Anthos Service Mesh (ASM).
+
+### ASM default version changed to 1.8
+
+[ASM submodule](https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-google-kubernetes-engine/tree/master/modules/asm) has been changed to use ASM v1.8 as default.
+
+The module now uses the new ASM [installation script](https://cloud.google.com/service-mesh/docs/scripted-install/asm-onboarding) which:
+- Does not support installation and upgrades for ASM versions older than 1.7.3.
+- Supports upgrades only from versions 1.7.3+ or a 1.8 patch release.
+- Supports migrations from open source Istio 1.7 or 1.8 to ASM
+
+Please see the script page for up to date details.
