Backwards Incompatible Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Due to constant confusion by users, user-level |Flake8| configuration files
  are no longer supported. Files will not be searched for in the user's home
  directory (e.g., ``~/.flake8``) nor in the XDG config directory (e.g.,
  ``~/.config/flake8``).
