+<dt>Change to the default fadvise behavior for data files</dt>
+<dd>
+The old default behavior was to advise the file system that access would be
+random for data files, and there was no way to alter that. We no longer
+call advise the file system of expected access patterns by default, and
+have added a new \c access_pattern_hint configuration option available for
+WT_SESSION::create that can be used to restore the old default by setting
+the value to "random".
