 ## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-24.11-incompatibilities}
 
-- Create the first release note entry in this section!
+- `nvimpager` was updated to version 0.13.0, which changes the order of user and
+  nvimpager settings: user commands in `-c` and `--cmd` now override the
+  respective default settings because they are executed later.
