LXC master: Legacy Config Items Have Been Removed

Hey everyone,

We’ve been making good progress on the way to 3.0 for all affected projects under the LXC umbrella. One of the more invasive steps we have undertaken yesterday is to remove the support for all legacy configuration items from the LXC master branch. We have announced this back when LXC 2.1 was released: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/news/#lxc-21-release-announcement-5th-of-september-2017
Below, you will find a list of configuration items that have been removed and their equivalent new
configuration items. Note that LXC ships an upgrade script

    lxc-update-config -h|--help [-c|--config]

which can be used to update a legacy config to a new config. The script will make a backup of the old config with the extension *.backup in the same directory where the old config resides. In case of a failed update the legacy config can easily be restored.
