+.. note::
+
+ Before BitBake 1.52 (Honister 3.4), the syntax for :term:`OVERRIDES`
+ used ``_`` instead of ``:``, so you will still find a lot of documentation
+ using ``_append``, ``_prepend``, and ``_remove``, for example.
+
+ For details, see the
+ :yocto_docs:`Overrides Syntax Changes </migration-guides/migration-3.4.html#override-syntax-changes>`
+ section in the Yocto Project manual migration notes.
