+
+### Breaking update to Scala 2 scripts
+
+**Keep in mind that it ONLY applies to Scala 2! Scala 3 script wrappers are not affected!**
+
+Scala CLI now uses a different kind of script wrappers for Scala 2 by default, which support running background threads.
+This has been introduces as an answer to the [issue #2470](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/issues/2470), where a running a script in Scala 2 would end up in a deadlock due to background threads being run.
+Also the change makes the Scala 2 scripts run significantly faster, as the code can be optimized due to not residing in the object's initialization clause.
+
+However, the new solution brings some incompatibilities with the old behaviour:
+- main classes are now named the same as the file they are defined in, they do not have the '_sc' suffix anymore, so any calls like:
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli foo.sc bar.sc --main-class foo_sc
+```
+should be replaced with
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli foo.sc bar.sc --main-class foo
+```
+- it is impossible to access the contents of a script named `main.sc` from another source, any references to the script object `main` will result in a compilation error.
+E.g. Accessing the contents of `main.sc` using the following code:
+```scala
+println(main.somethingDefinedInMainScript)
+```
+Will result in the following compilation error:
+```bash ignore
+[error] ./foo.sc:2:11
+[error] missing argument list for method main in trait App
+[error] Unapplied methods are only converted to functions when a function type is expected.
+[error] You can make this conversion explicit by writing `main _` or `main(_)` instead of `main`.
+```
+When `main.sc` is passed as argument together with other scripts, a warning will be displayed:
+```bash ignore
+[warn]  Script file named 'main.sc' detected, keep in mind that accessing it from other scripts is impossible due to a clash of `main` symbols
+```

+
+### "Drive relative" paths on Windows
+
+Scala CLI now correctly recognizes "drive relative" paths on Windows, so paths like `/foo/bar` will be treated as relative from the root of the current drive - e.g. `C:\foo\bar`.
+This allows for compatibility of programs referencing paths with e.g. `//> using file /foo/bar` with Windows.
