 enable this, add the following line to your `.vimrc` file (thanks

+Max line lengths
+----------------
+
+One particular customization a lot of people like to make is relaxing the
+maximum line length default.  This is a config setting that should be set in
+flake8 itself. (vim-flake8 "just" invokes it and deals with showing the output
+in Vim's quickfix window.)
+
+To do so, put the following into your `~/.config/flake8` file:
+
+    [flake8]
+    max-line-length = 120
+

 History
 -------
+1.6: Deprecated configuring flake8 options through Vim settings.  Instead,
+advise users to use the `~/.config/flake8` config file.
+
+    - Decprecated options:
+      - `g:flake8_builtins`
+      - `g:flake8_ignore`
+      - `g:flake8_max_line_length`
+      - `g:flake8_max_complexity`
+
+    - New options:
+      - `g:flake8_quickfix_height`
+
+1.5: Added markers and the option to don't show the quickfix window, also split
+functions into a autoload file. Added:
+
+    - Options:
+      - `g:flake8_show_quickfix`
+      - `g:flake8_show_in_gutter`
+      - `g:flake8_show_in_file`
+      - `g:flake8_max_markers`
+      - `flake8_error_marker`
+      - `flake8_warning_marker`
+      - `flake8_pyflake_marker`
+      - `flake8_complexity_marker`
+      - `flake8_naming_marker`
+    - Functions:
+      - `flake8#Flake8UnplaceMarkers()`
+      - `flake8#Flake8()`
+    - Highlighting:
+      - `Flake8_Error`
+      - `Flake8_Warning`
+      - `Flake8_Complexity`
+      - `Flake8_Naming`
+      - `Flake8_PyFlake`
+
+1.4: Suppress output to stdout.
 
 1.3: Added the following options:
 
-     - `g:flake8_builtins="_,apply"`
-     - `g:flake8_max_complexity=10`
+    - `g:flake8_builtins="_,apply"`
+    - `g:flake8_max_complexity=10`
 
 1.2: Added the following options:
 
-     - `g:flake8_cmd="/opt/strangebin/flake8000"`
-     - `g:flake8_max_line_length=120`
-     - `g:flake8_ignore="E501,W293"`
