## (BC Break) WhatsApp bridge configuration is now entirely managed by the playbook
Until now, configuration files for the [WhatsApp bridge](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp.md) were created by the playbook initially, but never modified later on.
From now on, the playbook will keep the configuration in sync for you.
This means that if you were making manual changes to the `/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/config.yaml` or `/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/registration.yaml` configuration files, those would be lost the next time you run the playbook.
The bridge now stores configuration in a subdirectory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/config`), so your old configuration remains in the base directory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp`).
You need to migrate any manual changes over to the new `matrix_mautrix_whatsapp_configuration_extension_yaml` variable, so that the playbook would apply them for you.
Likewise, data is now also stored in a subdirectory (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/data`). When you run the playbook with an existing database file (`/matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/mautrix-whatsapp.db`), the playbook will stop the bridge and relocate the database file to the `./data` directory. There's no data-loss involved. You'll need to restart the bridge manually though (`--tags=start`).
We're now following the default configuration for the WhatsApp bridge.
