-* Health check timeouts are configured in duration format.
-If you changed the defaults, please adapt your configuration.
+* Health check timeouts can now be configured in `java.time.Duration` format. The timeouts can still be configured using
+  millisecond values (`long`) as well to stay compatible with old configurations.
