-// SublimeText base scope -> Language ID
-// -------------------------------------
-//
-// These are the "exceptional" base scopes. If a base scope is not in this
-// map, nor the first two components or more match any of the entries here, then
-// the rule is that we split the base scope on the ".", and take
-// the second component. The resulting string is assumed to be the language ID.
-//
-// Examples:
-//
-//    source.c++ -> cpp
-//    source.rust -> rust
-//    text.tex.latex -> latex
-//
-// The official list is maintained at
-// https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification#textDocumentItem
-//
-// By virtue of this being a .sublime-settings file, you can make overrides to
-// to this file in your Packages/User/ directory. Consider to submit a pull
-// request at github.com/sublimelsp/LSP if you believe an entry is missing.

+# Breaking changes
+
+- The language-ids.sublime-settings configuration file was removed. Instead, the language IDs are
+  hardcoded now. Language IDs are used by servers which handle more than one language to avoid
+  re-interpreting file extensions. If you used the configuration file and think that a language ID
+  is wrong or missing, please create an issue at https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP/issues.
