 ## Performance Optimizations
 
 Several performance-focused improvements have been implemented:
-- Optimized RBL checking logic
-- Refined multimap text part processing
+- Optimized RBL checking logic (e.g. `received` checks exclude `from` IP)
+- Refined multimap text part processing: so no more double scoring for multipart/alternative hits
 - Enhanced GPT module response parsing
 - Improved memory management and resource utilization
 
 ## Installation and Upgrade Notes
 
 Users upgrading to version 3.11 should:
-1. Review Elasticsearch/OpenSearch configurations if using these features
-2. Test existing configurations with the new header processing logic
-3. Update any custom scripts that interact with ratelimiting features
-4. Review the new configuration options for potential optimizations
+1. Review Elasticsearch/OpenSearch configurations if using these features (please bear in mind, that by default this module is **disabled** now, so you will need to enable it explicitly after review of the configuration, e.g. by specifying `enabled = true`).
+2. Review the new scores for multimap plugin if your score relied on double hits for `multipart/alternative` and `content` multimap type
 
 The Rspamd team recommends testing the upgrade in a staging environment first, particularly if using the Elasticsearch integration.
 
 ## Looking Forward
 
-This release represents a significant step forward in Rspamd's evolution, with particular focus on modern infrastructure support, security, and usability. The improvements to the Elasticsearch integration and the addition of new management tools provide a solid foundation for future enhancements.
