 This is a minimal working example of using the driver in a Vapor application.
 
+**Note**: Since the driver depends on SwiftNIO 2 as of the 1.0.0-rc0 release, it is only compatible with Vapor 4. 
+
 To test it out, do the following:
 1. Run `mongod` to start MongoDB running on `localhost:27017`.
 1. Navigate to the `Examples/` directory (one level up from this one.)
