That is, this update will break your sites.

The main breaking changes:

Configuration files need to be renamed from 000-example to 000-example.conf (best to delete the symlink in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, rename (mv 000-example 000-example.conf) in /etec/apache2/sites-avaliable, and then sudo a2ensite 000-example.conf.
The two lines Order allow,deny / Allow from all are replaced with a single line, Require all granted.
