-We are changing the default style used by rustfmt. There is an ongoing [RFC
-process][fmt rfcs]. The last version using the old style was 0.8.6. From 0.9
-onwards, the RFC style is the default. If you want the old style back, you can
-use [legacy-rustfmt.toml](legacy-rustfmt.toml) as your rustfmt.toml.
-
-The current `master` branch uses libsyntax (part of the compiler). It is
-published as `rustfmt-nightly`. The `syntex` branch uses Syntex instead of
-libsyntax, it is published (for now) as `rustfmt`. Most development happens on
-the `master` branch, however, this only supports nightly toolchains. If you use
-stable or beta Rust toolchains, you must use the Syntex version (which is likely
-to be a bit out of date). Version 0.1 of rustfmt-nightly is forked from version
-0.9 of the syntex branch.
-
You can use rustfmt in Travis CI builds. We provide a minimal Travis CI
configuration (see [here](#checking-style-on-a-ci-server)) and verify its status
using another repository. The status of that repository's build is reported by
the "travis example" badge above.

Rustfmt is designed to be very configurable. You can create a TOML file called
`rustfmt.toml` or `.rustfmt.toml`, place it in the project or any other parent
directory and it will apply the options in that file. See `rustfmt
---config-help` for the options which are available, or if you prefer to see
+--help=config` for the options which are available, or if you prefer to see
visual style previews, [Configurations.md](Configurations.md).
By default, Rustfmt uses a style which conforms to the [Rust style guide][style
