 ## Version 4.0
 
-There is no release date for version 4.0 yet. Proposals that need a major version, for instance stricter type
-conversions, are collected in issue [#3453](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3453).
-
-!!! note "Not final"
-
-    The plan for version 4.0 described below is not final and may still change: macros may be added to or removed from
-    the list, and planned defaults may be revised. Any such change will be documented on this page.
-
-### Trying out 4.0 today
-
-Version 4.0 will not be developed on a separate branch. Instead, every breaking change is first added to a 3.x release
-behind a macro whose default keeps the 3.x behavior. Version 4.0 then switches the defaults and removes the macros.
-Version 4.0 is therefore the sum of these macros: you can try it on the 3.x release train today by defining each macro
-to its 4.0 value and fixing what no longer compiles or behaves differently. Once your code works with all of them, it
-is ready for version 4.0.
-
-The following macros guard changes that are planned to become the default in version 4.0:

 * In function `from_json`, use function [`at()`](../api/basic_json/at.md) to access the object values rather than `operator[]`. In case a key does not exist, `at` throws an exception that you can handle, whereas `operator[]` exhibits undefined behavior.

+### Incomplete `detector` type with GCC < 11
+
+!!! question
+
+    Why does GCC 10 or older fail with `invalid use of incomplete type 'struct nlohmann::detail::detector<..., to_json_function, ...>'` for a type that holds an `optional` member?
+
+This happens with GCC 10 and older in C++11/C++14 mode when all of these hold:
+
+- a class `Holder` has an `optional<Dummy>` member (e.g., `boost::optional`),
+- `Dummy` has a constructor taking a `json` value, and
+- `to_json` for `Holder` is a free function in the namespace of `Dummy`.
+
+```cpp
+class Dummy {
+  public:
+    explicit Dummy(const nlohmann::json& j);
+};
+
+class Holder {
+    boost::optional<Dummy> d;
+};
+
+void to_json(nlohmann::json& j, const Holder& h);  // triggers the error
+```
+
+To decide whether `Dummy` is copyable, the compiler checks whether a `Dummy` can be converted to `json`. That check
+looks up `to_json` via argument-dependent lookup, finds the unrelated `to_json` for `Holder`, and eventually asks again
+whether `Dummy` is copyable. GCC before version 11 turns this cycle into a hard error; GCC 11 and later, Clang, and
+C++17 mode compile the code. The same error shows up without this library whenever a constrained converting constructor
+is involved, so the library can't avoid it.
+
+To work around this, define `to_json` (and `from_json`) as a *hidden friend* inside the class. That way,
+argument-dependent lookup only finds it for `Holder`:
+
+```cpp
+class Holder {
+    boost::optional<Dummy> d;
+
+    friend void to_json(nlohmann::json& j, const Holder& h) { /* ... */ }
+};
+```
+
+The [`NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE`](../api/macros/nlohmann_define_type_intrusive.md) macros define hidden friends as
+well. See [#3669](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3669) for details.
