## Highlights
- MinIO supports starting the server arguments and configuration via a YAML configuration file. This YAML configuration
describes everything that can be configured in a MinIO setup, such as '--address', '--console-address', and command
line arguments for the MinIO server. Official documentation will be subsequently updated. Internal documentation on
this feature [is described here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/distributed/CONFIG.md).
- Historical flag `--config-dir | -C` does not work anymore. to provide a certs directory, you are advised to provide the
supported flag `--certs-dir | -S` instead, --config-dir has been long deprecated its finally time to completely remove
its support.
- Bitrot files will now be triggered with a proactive heal when needed.
