+  AFFECTS: users of news/inn when upgrading to FreeBSD 12
+  AUTHOR: naddy at FreeBSD.org
+
+  When upgrading from FreeBSD 11 to 12, a change in the size of the
+  ino_t type causes a binary incompatibility in the overview database
+  if the default tradindexed format is used.
+
+  After upgrading the inn package, remove the overview/group.index
+  file and regenerate the history and overview database with
+  makehistory(8) before starting innd.
