 ## Nomad 0.12.0
 
+### `mbits` and Task Network Resource deprecation
+
+Starting in Nomad 0.12.0 the `mbits` field of the network resource block has
+been deprecated and is no longer considered when making scheduling decisions.
+This is in part because we felt that `mbits` didn't accurately account network
+bandwidth as a resource. 
+
+Additionally the use of the `network` block inside of a task's `resource` block is
+also deprecated. Users are advised to move their `network` block to the `group`
+block. Recent networking features have only been added to group based network
+configuration. If any usecase or feature which was available with task network
+resource is not fulfilled with group network configuration, please open an issue
+detailing the missing capability.
