-  Package Devs
-  ------------
 
-  packagecontrol.io does not yet support the new 4.0.0 scheme and thus doesn't ship

   Therefore do not upgrade repositories to 4.0.0 scheme,
   which are included in default channel.
 
   You can however create your own 4.0.0 repository and
   add it via 'Package Control: Add Repository'.
