 ### Rewrite Target
 
+!!! attention
+    Starting in Version 0.2.2, ingress definitions using the annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target` are not backwards compatible with previous versions. In Version 0.2.2 and beyond, any substrings within the request URI that need to be passed to the rewritten path must explicitly be defined in a [capture group](https://www.regular-expressions.info/refcapture.html).
+
+!!! note
+    [Captured groups](https://www.regular-expressions.info/refcapture.html) are saved in numbered placeholders, chronologically, in the form `$1`, `$2` ... `$n`. These placeholders can be used as parameters in the `rewrite-target` annotation.

 **IMPORTANT NOTES**:
 
-- paths created under the `rewrite-ingress` are sorted before `\/?(?<baseuri>.*)` is appended. For example if the path defined within `test-ingress-2` was `/foo/.+` then the location block for `^/foo/.+\/?(?<baseuri>.*)` would be the LAST block listed.
 - If the `use-regex` OR `rewrite-target` annotation is used on any Ingress for a given host, then the case insensitive regular expression [location modifier](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location) will be enforced on ALL paths for a given host regardless of what Ingress they are defined on.

 In some scenarios the exposed URL in the backend service differs from the specified path in the Ingress rule. Without a rewrite any request will return 404.
 Set the annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target` to the path expected by the service.
 
-If the application contains relative links it is possible to add an additional annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/add-base-url` that will prepend a [`base` tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/base) in the header of the returned HTML from the backend.

-If the scheme of [`base` tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/base) need to be specific, set the annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/base-url-scheme` to the scheme such as `http` and `https`.
-
 If the Application Root is exposed in a different path and needs to be redirected, set the annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root` to redirect requests for `/`.
