+Unknown NDArray Subclasses
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In asdf 3.0.0 a config attribute was added
+`asdf.config.AsdfConfig.convert_unknown_ndarray_subclasses` that
+was enabled by default (to retain the behavior of the removed legacy
+extension that handled ndarrays).
+
+In asdf 4.0.0 this setting is disabled by default and issues a deprecation
+warning when enabled. In an upcoming version of asdf this setting will
+be removed.
+
+See :ref:`convert_unknown_ndarray_subclasses` for more details.
