 Overview of the IPython configuration system
 ============================================
 
-This section describes the IPython configuration system. Starting with version
-0.11, IPython has a completely new configuration system that is quite
-different from the older :file:`ipythonrc` or :file:`ipy_user_conf.py`
-approaches. The new configuration system was designed from scratch to address
-the particular configuration needs of IPython. While there are many
-other excellent configuration systems out there, we found that none of them
-met our requirements.

-.. warning::
-
-    If you are upgrading to version 0.11 of IPython, you will need to migrate
-    your old :file:`ipythonrc` or :file:`ipy_user_conf.py` configuration files
-    to the new system. You may want to read the section on 
-    :ref:`configuring IPython <configuring_ipython>`. There are also some ideas
-    `on the IPython wiki <http://wiki.ipython.org/Cookbook/Moving_config_to_IPython_0.11>`_
-    about this.
-
-The discussion that follows is focused on teaching users how to configure
-IPython to their liking.  Developers who want to know more about how they
-can enable their objects to take advantage of the configuration system
-should consult our :ref:`developer guide <developer_guide>`

 Startup Files

-executed as soon as the IPython shell is constructed, and before any other code or

-they will be run in lexicographical order, so you can control the ordering by adding

-    Automatic startup files are new in IPython 0.12. Use the
