Description:
As of 8.0.30, the new redo log format is applied upon the upgrade step, as follows:

2022-09-19T08:20:12.012822Z 1 [Note] [MY-012529] [InnoDB] Redo log format is v4. The redo log was created before MySQL 8.0.30.

However, this fact is missed in the documentation:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/upgrading-what-is-upgraded.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-redo-log.html

How to repeat:
Try to find any documentation on what happens with the redo log during the version upgrade.
