Please add your migration guide entries here. (This works similarly to
ChangeLog.d except merging will be done manually.)
Please add your migration guide entries here. Until 3.0 is released, each PR
that makes backwards-incompatible changes should add a file here, with the
extension .md, a descriptive name and the following format:
Each entry should help a user answer these questions:
---%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<---
- am I affected?
- what's my migration path?
The Change That Was Made
------------------------
Who exactly is affected: does this affect users of the default config, of a
particular feature? Remember to contextualise.
If I'm affected, what's my migration path? How should I change my code if this
is and API change; if a feature was removed what are my alternatives?
Optional: Another Change That Was Made in the Same Pr
-----------------------------------------------------
Who is affected?
What's the migration path?
---%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<---
For examples, have a look a docs/3.0-migration-guide.md (which includes the
top-level header and an intro before the list of entries).
As part of release preparation, the entries in this directory will be appended
to docs/3.0-migration-guide.md and then re-ordered and reviewed one last time.
The file is then going to be moved to the version-independant docs repo.
