## (BC Break) WhatsApp bridge configuration is now entirely managed by the playbook
Until now, configuration files for the [WhatsApp bridge](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp.md) were created by the playbook initially, but never modified later on.
From now on, the playbook will keep the configuration in sync for you.
This means that if you were making manual changes to the `/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/config.yaml` or `/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/registration.yaml` configuration files, those would be lost the next time you run the playbook.
The bridge now stores configuration in a subdirectory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/config`), so your old configuration remains in the base directory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp`).
You need to migrate any manual changes over to the new `matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_configuration_extension_yaml` variable, so that the playbook would apply them for you.
Likewise, data is now also stored in a subdirectory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/data`). When you run the playbook with an existing database file (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/mautrix-whatsapp.db`), the playbook will stop the bridge and relocate the database file to the `./data` directory. There's no data-loss involved. You'll need to restart the bridge manually though (`--tags=start`).
We're now following the default configuration for the WhatsApp bridge.

## (BC Break) IRC bridge configuration is now entirely managed by the playbook
Until now, configuration files for the [IRC bridge](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-irc.md) were created by the playbook initially, but never modified later on.
From now on, the playbook will keep the configuration in sync for you.
This means that if you were making manual changes to the `/matrix/appservice-irc/config.yaml` or `/matrix/appservice-irc/registration.yaml` configuration files, those would be lost the next time you run the playbook.
The bridge now stores configuration in a subdirectory (`/matrix/appservice-irc/config`), so your old configuration remains in the base directory (`/matrix/appservice-irc`).
Previously, we asked people to configure bridged IRC servers by extending the bridge configuration (`matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_extension_yaml`). While this is still possible and will continue working forever, **we now recommend defining IRC servers in the easier to use `matrix_appservice_irc_ircService_servers` variable**. See [our IRC bridge documentation page](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-irc.md) for an example.
If you decide to continue using `matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_extension_yaml`, you might be interested to know that `ircService.databaseUri` and a few other keys now have default values in the base configuration (`matrix_appservice_irc_configuration_yaml`). You may wish to stop redefining those keys, unless you really intend to override them. You most likely only need to override `ircService.servers`.
Bridge data (`passkey.pem` and database files) is now also stored in a subdirectory (`/matrix/appservice-irc/data`).
When you run the playbook with an existing `/matrix/appservice-irc/passkey.pem` file, the playbook will stop the bridge and relocate the passkey and database files (`rooms.db` and `users.db`) to the `./data` directory. There's no data-loss involved. You'll need to restart the bridge manually though (`--tags=start`).

Thanks to [@danbob](https://github.com/danbob), the playbook now [supports the new Ansible 2.8](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/187).

Your Appservice IRC configuration is incomplete (lacking an `ircService.servers` configuration).

Overriding the whole bridge's configuration (`matrix_appservice_irc_configuration`) is yet another possibility.
