+  Thanks to the new plugin infrastructure, the functionality to write RRD and
+  CSV files and the logging and networking facilities could be removed from
+  collectd's core and put into separate plugins, allowing more flexible
+  configurations. To get the behavior of collectd 3.x you have to enable the
+  "rrdtool" and "syslog" plugins (enabled by default) and enable and configure
+  the network plugin. See collectd.conf(5) for details.
+
   Additionally, the syntax of the configuration file has changed slightly. All
   strings need to be surrounded by double quotes. See collectd.conf(5) for
   details.
