+The jumbo patch, which has been applied to this source tree of John the
+Ripper, adds a lot of code, documentation, and data contributed by the
+user community.  This is not "official" John the Ripper code.  It is
+very easy for new code to be added to the jumbo patch: the quality
+requirements are low.  This means that you get a lot of functionality
+that is not "mature" enough or is otherwise inappropriate for the
+official JtR, which in turn also means that bugs in this code are to be
+expected, etc.
+
+If you have any comments on this release or on JtR in general, please
+join the john-users mailing list and post in there.

+	"include" syntax within the john.conf file.
+
+At version 1.7.8-jumbo6 (and later), include syntax was added to john.conf
+file format.  The syntax is one of these 3 types:
+.include "file"
+.include <file>
+.include [section]
+
+The include of a file, will load a file, and drop it right into where
+the .include is located at.  This is similar to how #include "" and
+#include <> works in the C language.  Some of the larger sections in
+the jumbo john, have been moved out of the 'john.conf' file, into their
+own .conf file (the dumb16/32 and the generic scripting sections)
+
+the .include [section], will take all of the lines found within [section]
+and place them into the current 'building' section.  Thus, things like
+numerous small rules sections can be made, and then a couple of 'super'
+rules sections can be created, which will .include several of these
+smaller rules sections to make the body of this rules section.  Also
+it can be used to load common information among several incremental
+sections, or a common init function (or other functions), in a pair
+of extern sections.
+
+See [Incremental:All7] and several others around there for examples.
