that people working on the documentation know that changes are needed. This
includes entries that would make sense for the migration guide or release notes.
+The path names in WORKDIR have been simplified to remove PE and PR and just use PV. This change
+also applies to the path to stamp files via STAMP.
+
+Changes have been made to the way source control versions are handled in PV. Instead
+of being injected into PV, these are now injected via PKGV at package generation time.
+This further simplifies directory names using PV and means the resolution of revsisions
+can be more controled and predictable at the bitbake level. Previously, PV could be
+expanded at any point during parsing, the expansion point is now much more predicatable.
+
+The code now only injects the revsision information to PKGV, if ends with a "+"
+character, which was our standard convention for this. As such, SRCPV is no longer
+needed/used and is now simply empty. The variable can be removed from PV.
+
+One change of behaviour is that for git SRC_URI entries, invalid revisions that could never
+be a sha will be assumed to be tags and a resolution will be attempted during parsing. This
+will trigger parsing errors. Recipes should raise SkipRecipe rather than set dummy invalid
+revisions.
