</p>
+<p>
+ The previous NuttX version was 6.33.
+ The NuttX minor version number is incremented on each release, but the major version number is incremented only when an incompatibility with previous versions is included in the release.
+ In this case, the legacy, manual configuration is no longer supported by the NuttX build system beginning with NuttX 7.1.
+ Only the newer configurations generated by the <i>kconfig-frontends</i> tools will generate
+ viable NuttX configurations.
+</p>
+<p>
+ All board configurations in the NuttX source tree have been converted to use the newer configuration, but if you have some older style configurations for you board, you will need to convert those configurations to use the <i>kconfig-frontends</i> tools before taking any new code from the repository.
+ There are <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:howtos:convertconfig">Conversion Guidelines</a> available on the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki">NuttX Wiki</a>
