 ### Changed
 - **Breaking:** Elixir >=1.9 is now required (was >= 1.8)
-- **Breaking:** Configuration: `:auto_linker, :opts` moved to `:pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter`. Old config namespace is deprecated.
 - In Conversations, return only direct messages as `last_status`
 - Using the `only_media` filter on timelines will now exclude reblog media
 - MFR policy to set global expiration for all local Create activities

-Configuration for Pleroma's link formatter which parses mentions, hashtags, and URLs.
+Configuration for the `auto_linker` library:
 
-* `class` - specify the class to be added to the generated link (default: `false`)
-* `rel` - specify the rel attribute (default: `ugc`)
-* `new_window` - adds `target="_blank"` attribute (default: `false`)
-* `truncate` - Set to a number to truncate URLs longer then the number. Truncated URLs will end in `...` (default: `false`)
-* `strip_prefix` - Strip the scheme prefix (default: `false`)
-* `extra` - link URLs with rarely used schemes (magnet, ipfs, irc, etc.) (default: `true`)
-* `validate_tld` - Set to false to disable TLD validation for URLs/emails. Can be set to :no_scheme to validate TLDs only for urls without a scheme (e.g `example.com` will be validated, but `http://example.loki` won't) (default: `:no_scheme`)
+* `class: "auto-linker"` - specify the class to be added to the generated link. false to clear.
+* `rel: "noopener noreferrer"` - override the rel attribute. false to clear.
+* `new_window: true` - set to false to remove `target='_blank'` attribute.
+* `scheme: false` - Set to true to link urls with schema `http://google.com`.
