+    Prior to version 6.2, navigation tabs had a slightly different behavior.
+    All top-level pages (i.e. all top-level entries that directly refer to an
+    `*.md` file) defined inside the `nav` entry of `mkdocs.yml` were grouped
+    under the first tab which received the title of the first page. This made
+    it impossible to include a top-level page (or external link) as a tab item,
+    as was reported in #1884 and #2072. From version 6.2 on, navigation tabs
+    include all top-level pages and sections.
