+Configuration Backwards-Compatibility Breaks
+
+In version 4.0.0, the configuration subsystem (composed of the outwards
+facing Config class, as well as the ConfigSchema and ConfigSchema_Interchange
+subsystems), was significantly revamped to make use of property lists.
+While most of the changes are internal, some internal APIs were changed for the
+sake of clarity. HTMLPurifier_Config was kept completely backwards compatible,
+although some of the functions were retrofitted with an unambiguous alternate
+syntax. Both of these changes are discussed in this document.
+
+
+
+1. Outwards Facing Changes
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The HTMLPurifier_Config class now takes an alternate syntax. The general rule
+is:
+
+    If you passed $namespace, $directive, pass "$namespace.$directive"
+    instead.
+
+An example:
+
+    $config->set('HTML', 'Allowed', 'p');
+
+becomes:
+
+    $config->set('HTML.Allowed', 'p');
+
+New configuration options may have more than one namespace, they might
+look something like %Filter.YouTube.Blacklist. While you could technically
+set it with ('HTML', 'YouTube.Blacklist'), the logical extension
+('HTML', 'YouTube', 'Blacklist') does not work.
+
+The old API will still work, but will emit E_USER_NOTICEs.
+
+
+
+2. Internal API Changes
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Some overarching notes: we've completely eliminated the notion of namespace;
+it's now an informal construct for organizing related configuration directives.
+
+Also, the validation routines for keys (formerly "$namespace.$directive")
+have been completely relaxed. I don't think it really should be necessary.
+
+2.1 HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema
+
+First off, if you're interfacing with this class, you really shouldn't.
+HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema_Builder_ConfigSchema is really the only class that
+should ever be creating HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema, and HTMLPurifier_Config the
+only class that should be reading it.
+
+All namespace related methods were removed; they are completely unnecessary
+now. Any $namespace, $name arguments must be replaced with $key (where
+$key == "$namespace.$name"), including for addAlias().
+
+The $info and $defaults member variables are no longer indexed as
+[$namespace][$name]; they are now indexed as ["$namespace.$name"].
+
+All deprecated methods were finally removed, after having yelled at you as
+an E_USER_NOTICE for a while now.
+
+2.2 HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema_Interchange
+
+Member variable $namespaces was removed.
+
+2.3 HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema_Interchange_Id
+
+Member variable $namespace and $directive removed; member variable $key added.
+Any method that took $namespace, $directive now takes $key.
+
+2.4 HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema_Interchange_Namespace
+
+Removed.
