### I upgraded from Awesome 3 to Awesome 4 and multiscreen broke. Why is that?
Awesome 4.0+ support dynamic screen plugging and unplugging without restarting.
This avoids losing your tags, layout and focus history. Olders `rc.lua` were not
designed to support such changes and assumed Awesome would restart. To add
multi-screen support to existing configs, see how
`awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen` is used in the new `rc.lua` or rebuild
your config on a newer revision of `rc.lua`.
