+  * Please be aware what a new stable upstream release of wesnoth means for
+    your save games: You won't be able to continue playing from them. The
+    reasons for those are several, not limited to these two bigger points:
+    - Most of all, balancing changes: Units might have different
+      characteristics and thus fights would end differently.
+    - Most obvious, changes in the campaigns themself. A unit you kept from a
+      former scenario might not be in the campaign anymore, or a whole
+      scenario might have been added or removed somewhere in between. Map
+      changes also affect multiplayer games.
+    Again: You won't be able to continue from your old save games with a new
+    stable upstream release like it happened with this update from the former
+    stable release 1.2 to this new one 1.4.
