+!!! 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:
+
+| Macro                                                                                                            | 3.x default | 4.0 behavior                                                                                                                  | CMake option                                                                                                       | Added  |

+
+For example, the following makes a 3.x release behave like version 4.0 with respect to these changes:
+
+```cpp
+#define JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS 0
+#define JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS 0
+#define JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON 0
+#define JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS 1
+#define JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION 1
+#define JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING 1
+#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+```
+
+The macros must be defined before the library header is included; setting them once in the build system is the easiest
+way to achieve this.
+
+### Removal of deprecated functions
+
+Version 4.0 will remove all deprecated functions. Compiling with deprecation warnings enabled shows which of them your
+code still uses. The [migration guide](../integration/migration_guide.md#replace-deprecated-functions) shows how to
+replace each of them.
