+Migrating from `v0.2.x` to `v1.x`
+=================================
+
+`v1.x` is largely API-compatible with `v0.2.x`, but there are a few breaking changes.
+
+- [`config` function](#config-function)
+- [Cancelling redraw from event handlers](#cancelling-redraw-from-event-handlers)
+- [Component `controller` function](#component-controller-function)
+- [Passing components to `m()`](#passing-components-to-m)
+
+## `config` function
+
+In `v0.2.x` mithril provided a single lifecycle method, `config`. `v1.x` provides much more fine-grained control over the lifecycle of a vnode.
+
+### `v0.2.x`
+
+```js
+m("div", {
+    config : function(element, isInitialized) {
+        // runs on each redraw
+        // isInitialized is a boolean representing if the node has been added to the DOM
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### `v1.x`
+
+More documentation on these new methods is available in [lifecycle-methods.md](lifecycle-methods.md).
+
+```js
+m("div", {
+    // Called before the DOM node is created
+    oninit : function(vnode) { ... },
+    // Called after the DOM node is created
+    oncreate : function(vnode) { ... },
+    // Called before the node is updated, return false to cancel
+    onbeforeupdate : function(vnode, old) { ... },
+    // Called after the node is updated
+    onupdate : function(vnode) { ... },
+    // Called before the node is removed, call done() when ready for the node to be removed from the DOM
+    onbeforeremove : function(vnode, done) { ... },
+    // Called before the node is removed, but after onbeforeremove calls done()
+    onremove : function(vnode) { ... }
+});
+```
+
+If available the DOM-Element of the vnode can be accessed at `vnode.dom`.
+
+## Cancelling redraw from event handlers
+
+`m.mount()` and `m.route()` still automatically redraw after a DOM event handler runs. Cancelling these redraws from within your event handlers is now done by setting the `redraw` property on the passed-in event object to `false`.
+
+### `v0.2.x`
+
+```js
+m("div", {
+    onclick : function(e) {
+        m.redraw.strategy("none");
+    }
+})
+```
+
+### `v1.x`
+
+```js
+m("div", {
+    onclick : function(e) {
+        e.redraw = false;
+    }
+})
+```
+
+## Component `controller` function
+
+In `v1.x` there is no more `controller` property in components, use `oninit` instead.
+
+### `v0.2.x`
+
+```js
+m.mount(document.body, {
+    controller : function() {
+        var ctrl = this;
+        
+        ctrl.fooga = 1;
+    },
+    
+    view : function(ctrl) {
+        return m("p", ctrl.fooga);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### `v1.x`
+
+```js
+m.mount(document.body, {
+    oninit : function(vnode) {
+        vnode.state.fooga = 1;
+    },
+    
+    view : function(vnode) {
+        return m("p", vnode.state.fooga);
+    }
+});
+
+// OR
+
+m.mount(document.body, {
+    oninit : function(vnode) {
+        var ctrl = this;  // this is bound to vnode.state by default
+        
+        ctrl.fooga = 1;
+    },
+    
+    view : function(vnode) {
+        var ctrl = this; // this is bound to vnode.state by default
+        
+        return m("p", ctrl.fooga);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+## Passing components to `m()`
+
+In `v0.2.x` you could pass components as the second argument of `m()` w/o any wrapping required. To help with consistency in `v1.x` they must always be wrapped with a `m()` invocation.
+
+### `v0.2.x`
+
+```js
+m("div", <component>);
+```
+
+### `v1.x`
+
+```js
+m("div", m(<component>));
+```
