+fail2ban (0.10.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  This version is a major development leap forward to provide
+  IPv6 support, which also required extensions to the configuration
+  system.  That is why it is not unlikely that configuration left from the
+  previous version(s) would either not work or would not work as intended.
+
+  You are advised to accept new configuration and adjust it for your
+  customizations (if any).
