+#### Deduplication of Route Metadata
+
+🚦 **Impact Level**: Minimal
+
+##### What Changed
+
+It's possible to set some route metadata using `definePageMeta`, such as the `name`, `path`, and so on. Previously these were available both on the route and on route metadata (for example, `route.name` and `route.meta.name`).
+
+Now, they are only accessible on the route object.
+
+##### Reasons for Change
+
+This is a result of enabling `experimental.scanPageMeta` by default, and is a performance optimization.
+
+##### Migration Steps
+
+The migration should be straightforward:
+
+```diff
+  const route = useRoute()
+  
+- console.log(route.meta.name)
++ console.log(route.name)
+```
+
