+<h1>Compatibility Notes for rsyslog v6</h1>
+This document describes things to keep in mind when moving from v6 to v7. It
+does not list enhancements nor does it talk about compatibility concerns introduced
+by earlier versions (for this, see their respective compatibility documents). Its focus
+is primarily on what you need to know if you used v6 and want to use v7 without hassle.
+<p>Version 7 builds on the new config language introduced in v6 and extends it.
+Other than v6, it not just only extends the config language, but provides
+considerable changes to core elements as well. The result is much more power and
+ease of use as well (this time that is not contradictionary).
+</p>
+<h2>BSD-Style blocks</h2>
+BSD style blocks are no longer supported (for good reason). See the
+<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/g/BSD">rsyslog BSD blocks info</a>
+page for more information and how to upgrade your config.
