+# Breaking Changes
+
+This document contains a list of breaking changes in each version and some notes
+to help migrate between versions. It is compiled manually from the commit
+history and changelog. We also tag PRs on github with a [breaking change] label.

+## Summary
+
+- [v0.12.0](#v0120)
+  - In `aya::Bpf::programs`, `name` uses the function name from the ELF file.
+
+## v0.12.0
+
+### In `aya::Bpf::programs`, `name` uses the function name from the ELF file
+
+In previous versions, the `name` parameter of `aya::Bpf::programs` was
+derived from the ELF section name. If you were using `aya-bpf`, this was sensible
+since our macros took care of appending the function name to the section name,
+resulting in a section name like `kprobe/my_function`. However, loading this
+program using libbpf > 1.0 would fail due the section name not following the
+newly enforced [naming convention].
+
+Likewise, loading eBPF programs written in C using Aya was also problematic.
+Given the following C program:
+
+```c
+SEC("kprobe")
+int my_function(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+Loading this program using Aya would require the following:
+
+```rust
+let bpf = Bpf::load(&program)?;
+let my_function = bpf.program("kprobe")?;
+```
+
+This was not intuitive and was a frequent source of confusion.
+
+To solve this, Aya was changed to resolve function names from the ELF files
+symbol table. Therefore, if your function is defined as:
+
+```rust
+#[kprobe]
+fn my_function(_ctx: KprobeContext) -> i32 {
+    0
+}
+```
+
+Or in C:
+
+```c
+SEC("kprobe")
+int my_function(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+Then you should load it using:
+
+```rust
+let bpf = Bpf::load(&program)?;
+let my_function = bpf.program("my_function")?;
+```
+
+Migration is straightforward. Simply replace the `name` parameter in
+`Bpf::programs` with the function name from the ELF file.
+
+If you are using `aya-bpf`, you should update to the latest (git)
+version and recompile your programs. The name argument inside our macros
+has been deprecated and should therefore be removed.
+
+Given the following:
+
+```rust
+#[kprobe(name="another_name")]
+fn some_name(_ctx: KprobeContext) -> i32 {
+    0
+}
+```
+
+You would update it to:
+
+```rust
+#[kprobe]
+fn another_name(_ctx: KprobeContext) -> i32 {
+    0
+}
+```
+
+Note here that changing the exported function name is not supported anymore.
