always return `false` instead of `true`, even if the contents are equal.
+### Removed default dynamic reloading classpath directory (lib/ext)
+
+In {% ghi 1179 %}, the default directory for dynamic class reloading (lib/ext)
+was removed and the default value for the deprecated property
+`general.dynamic.classpaths` was set to blank. This was done as part of a plan
+to phase out class loading behaviors that are tightly coupled to Accumulo, in
+favor of more user-pluggable class loading features that are easier to maintain
+separately from Accumulo's core code.
+
+To continue to use this feature until it is removed, you must set this property
+to a value. However, it is recommended to add your non-dynamic user class paths
+to the `CLASSPATH` environment in `accumulo-env.sh` instead, or to leverage the
+per-table context class paths feature, depending on your use case. For
+reference, the previous default value was `$ACCUMULO_HOME/lib/ext/[^.].*.jar`.
