+  * Define [MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/wiki/v1_1_cpp_configure#msgpack_disable_legacy_nil-since-140), then `msgpack::type::nil` is replaced by with `msgpack::type::nil_t` (#408, #411, #412).
+    Replace `msgpack::type::nil` with `msgpack::type::nil_t` in client codes.
+    `msgpack::type::nil` will be removed on the version 2.0.0.
+  * Define [MSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-c/wiki/v1_1_cpp_configure#msgpack_disable_legacy_convert-since-140), then `msgpack::object::convert(T*)` is removed (#410).
+    Replace calling `msgpack::bojectconvert(T*)` with `msgpack::bojectconvert(T&)` in client codes as follows:
+
+    ```C++
+     int i;
+     obj.convert(&i); // before
+     ```
+
+    ```C++
+     int i;
+     obj.convert(i);  // after
+     ```
+
+    `msgpack::object::convert(T*)` will be removed on the version 2.0.0.
+
+Define the macros above as follows when you compile C++ codes that use msgpack-c:
+
+```
+g++ -Ipath_to_msgpack/include -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_NIL -DMSGPACK_DISABLE_LEGACY_CONVERT your_code.cpp
+
+```
+
+You can compile existing codes without defining macros above but I recommend defining them and updating your codes to fix the issues #408, #411, #412, #399, and #410. It is also a good preparation for the version 2.0.0.
