+        Commons configuration comes with a number of default prefix interpolators in addition
+        to the few demonstrated above. The full list can be found in the documentation of
+        the <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/ConfigurationInterpolator.html#getDefaultPrefixLookups()">
+        ConfigurationInterpolator.getDefaultPrefixLookups()</a></code> method. This method returns a map of 
+        standard interpolation lookup objects keyed by prefix, which are enabled by default in all 
+        interpolation operations performed through the <code>Configuration</code> interface. Prior to version 
+        <code>2.8.0</code>, this map was constant. However, starting in version <code>2.8.0</code>, the lookups 
+        included in this map can be optionally configured via system property, allowing users greater control over the 
+        types of interpolation performed in their applications. The system property in question is named
+        <code>org.apache.commons.configuration2.interpol.ConfigurationInterpolator.defaultPrefixLookups</code>
+        and is expected to contain a comma-separated list of names from the
+        <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/DefaultLookups.html">DefaultLookups</a></code>
+        enum. For example, launching an application with the system property given below will only enable the

+    <section name="Migration Guide Between 2.x Versions">
+    <p>
+      This document aims to assist with the migration between different versions
+      within the 2.x line. While all Commons Configuration artifacts maintain binary 
+      compatibility with previous versions with the same major number, there are
+      some behavioral and/or configuration differences that may need to be addressed when
+      upgrading.
+    </p>
+
+    <subsection name="v2.8.0">
+    <p>
+      Version 2.8.0 of <em>Commons Configuration</em> introduced a change in the variable interpolation lookups
+      included by default. In previous versions, all lookups defined in the
+      <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/DefaultLookups.html">DefaultLookups</a></code>
+      enum were included by default. With version 2.8.0, some of these lookups are disabled.
+      Specifically, the
+      <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/DefaultLookups.html#DNS">dns</a></code>,
+      <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/DefaultLookups.html#URL">url</a></code>, and
+      <code><a href="../apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration2/interpol/DefaultLookups.html#SCRIPT">script</a></code>
+      lookups must now be enabled explicitly. As described in the 
+      <a href="howto_basicfeatures.html#Default_interpolation_lookups">user guide</a>, this can be done either
+      programmatically or through a system property. If the behavior of previous versions must be maintained exactly 
+      without changes to the code, then the following system property can be used:
+<source>
+org.apache.commons.configuration2.interpol.ConfigurationInterpolator.defaultPrefixLookups=BASE64_DECODER,BASE64_ENCODER,CONST,DATE,DNS,ENVIRONMENT,FILE,JAVA,LOCAL_HOST,PROPERTIES,RESOURCE_BUNDLE,SCRIPT,SYSTEM_PROPERTIES,URL,URL_DECODER,URL_ENCODER,XML
+</source>
+        If the disabled lookups listed above are not used by the target application, then no changes are required. 
+    </p>
