  892. XDG_CONFIG_* directories to respect FDO standard
  893. (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html).
  894. To get more information, see ticket #1851.
  895. WARNING: VFS paths now handled as vfsprefix1://vfsdata/vfsprefix2://vfsdata
  896. (see #2361). Also, 'bindings' user file was renamed to 'mc.ext', so you need
  897. search in this file all
  898. Open=file.ext#vfsprefix
  899. and replace them to
  900. Open=file.ext/vfsprefix://
  901. After this you should rename your 'bindings' file to 'mc.ext'.
  902. Old-style paths are handled just in 'Directory hotlist' dialog, but you couldn't
  903. mix URL-like and old style path elements in one path string. Support of old-style
  904. paths will be removed in next major release (probably in 4.9, who knows...)
  905. WARNING: keybinding names was renamed to provide some unification (see #2511).
  906. The correspondence of old and new keybinging names are described in doc/keybind-migration.txt
  907. file and in doc/keybindMigration web page.
  908. Be aware.
