+Directories and 'default_controller', '404_override'
+====================================================
+
+As you should know, the ``$route['default_controller']`` and
+``$route['404_override']`` settings accept not only a controller name, but
+also *controller/method* pairs. However, a bug in the routing logic has
+made it possible for some users to use that as *directory/controller*
+instead.
+
+As already said, this behavior was incidental and was never intended, nor
+documented. If you've relied on it, your application will break with
+CodeIgniter 3.0.
+
+Another notable change in version 3 is that 'default_controller' and
+'404_override' are now applied *per directory*. To explain what this means,
+let's take the following example::
+
+ $route['default_controller'] = 'main';
+
+Now, assuming that your website is located at *example.com*, you already
+know that if a user visits ``http://example.com/``, the above setting will
+cause your 'Main' controller to be loaded.
+
+However, what happens if you have an *application/controllers/admin/*
+directory and the user visits ``http://example.com/admin/``?
+In CodeIgniter 3, the router will look for a 'Main' controller under the
+admin/ directory as well. If not found, it will fallback to the parent
+(*application/controllers/*) directory, like in version 2.x.
+
+The same rule applies to the '404_override' setting.
