+WARNING!
+
+  0.7.x versions of fail2ban is a complete rewrite of the tool since 0.6, and
+  it went through restructuring of the configuration files. If you had
+  adjusted config file /etc/fail2ban.conf or /etc/defaults/fail2ban, you need
+  to adjust new config files (under /etc/fail2ban/ and /etc/default/fail2ban)
+  to take advantage of the upgrade. Now fail2ban uses split configs and local
+  modifications can be introduced in corresponding .local files. Please
+  remove old configuration file /etc/fail2ban.conf thereafter.
+
+  Please review the configuration file and make appropriate changes.
+ENJOY!
