+
+ Awesome Window Manager (x11-wm/awesome) was upgraded to 4.1 and its config
+ is not backward compatible with 3.5. A new port was created to keep 3.5
+ version available at x11-wm/awesome3 and it will be available for 6 months
+ until users have time to upgrade configuration.
+
+ There are references about what has changed in 4.0 at:
+
+ https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/documentation/89-NEWS.md.html#v4
+
+ And configuration porting tips at:
+
+ https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/documentation/17-porting-tips.md.html#v4
+
+ If you would like to keep using 3.x, please run the collowing command to
+ update pkg database:
+
+ # pkg set -n awesome:awesome3
+ # pkg set -o x11-wm/awesome:x11-wm/awesome3
