 # Migration from `1.4` to `1.5`
 
+## Config files
+
+- The config file now required to have a version number. This has to be added with `version: 2` at the root.
+- Hooks now optionally support `dir: /some/dir` in the [options object](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic/internal#Hooks).
+- Docker volumes don't get prefixed with `volume:` anymore, rather you have to set the `type: volume` in the [location config](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic/internal#Hooks).
+
+See detailed instructions below.
+
 ## Hooks
 
 Since `1.5` multiple sources for a location are possible.
