# Creadur RAT Migration Guide - Release 0.17

As release 0.17 introduced new configuration options you should check your logs for deprecation warnings.

## Maven

Under the ```<configuration>``` element remove all deprecated configuration options.

* Replace option ```<exclude>``` by ```<inputExclude>``` and start replacing your desired exclusion elements.
* As the parsing logics of exclusion has changed, you may want to verify if you can remove trailing/beginning slashes of your exclusions.
* In order to use available default exclusions, you may add them via ```<inputExcludeStd>ALL</inputExcludeStd>```. Available exclusions are pre-configured in the enumeration [StandardCollection](https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apidocs/org/apache/rat/config/exclusion/StandardCollection.html).
* As RAT uses a variation of the Ant or Git exclusion syntax, we provide an [example expression overview](https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-core/exclusion_expression.html).
