### Adopting to new `_resources` directory
+The name of the directory where vendor module resources are exposed can now be configured by defining a `extra.resources-dir` key in your `composer.json` file. If the key is not set, it will automatically default to `resources`. New projects will be preset to `_resources`.
+This will avoid potential conflict with SiteTree URL Segments.
+
1. Update your `.gitignore` file to ignore the new `_resources` directory. This file is typically located in the root of your project or in the `public` folder.
2. Add a new `extra.resources-dir` key to your composer file.

+### Optional migration to hash-less public asset URLs {#hashless-urls}
+
+SilverStripe 4.x introduced an [asset abstraction](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/developer_guides/files/file_storage/)
+system which required a [file migration](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/developer_guides/files/file_migration/) task.
+It allowed files to be access protected, have a separate draft stage,
+and track changes to file metadata and their contents through the `Versioned` system.
+
+This change defaulted to adding a content "hash" to file paths,
+unless the migration was performed with `legacy_filenames=true`.
+The hash would be updated when file contents change, and any link generated
+through SilverStripe (e.g. through `HTMLText` or `$Image` template placeholders)
+would automatically adjust. However, any direct links from search engines, bookmarks, etc would break.
+This limitation was pointed out in the [upgrading advice](4.0.0#asset-storage) to developers,
+but the impact wasn’t sufficiently highlighted.
+
+SilverStripe 4.3.2 introduced a redirect to fix those broken links.
+Dynamic redirects are more resource intensive than serving static files.
+With SilverStripe 4.4.0, we're providing an optional migration script
+to move public files into their "hash-less" locations, removing the need for most redirects.
+The original "hashed" file paths continue to work through redirects.
+In order to opt-in to moving these files, run the following command:
+
+```
+vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/MigrateFileTask
+```
+
+Note that you can run this task without CLI access by installing and configuring
+the [queuedjobs](https://github.com/symbiote/silverstripe-queuedjobs) module.
+
+Further information is provided in the [Hash-less Public Asset URLs FAQ](#hashless-faq) below.
+
+### Hash-less Public Asset URLs FAQ {#hashless-faq}
+
+#### How are files named and renamed?
+
+Here's an example of how file names changed during an initial 4.x migration, and when upgrading to 4.4:
+
+ * Original file created under SS 3.x: assets/myfile.pdf
+ * File migrated under SS 4.x with `legacy_filenames=false`: `assets/[content-hash]/myfile.pdf` (Regression: links to `assets/myfile.pdf` no longer work)
+ * File migrated under SS 4.x with `legacy_filenames=true`: `assets/myfile.pdf`
+ * File with updated file content under SS 4.x: `assets/[new-content-hash]/myfile.pdf` (Regression: links to `assets/[content-hash]/myfile.pdf` no longer work)
+ * File with hotfix applied (SS 4.2.3): `assets/myfile.pdf` and `assets/[old-content-hash]/myfile.pdf` redirects to `assets/[new-content-hash]/myfile.pdf`
+ * File with full fix applied (SS 4.3.x) : `assets/myfile.pdf` and `assets/[old-content-hash]/myfile.pdf` redirects to `assets/[new-content-hash]/myfile.pdf`
+ * Newly uploaded file with full fix applied (SS 4.4.0): `assets/my-other-file.pdf` (no redirect required)
+
+More details on how files are stored can be found in the
+["File Storage" guide](/developer_guides/files/file_storage).
+
+#### How are redirects handled?
+
+Redirects from (now legacy) hashed public URLs default to `301 Permanent Redirect`.
+By opting into the [file migration to hash-less public URLs](#hashless-urls),
+you can minimise these redirects. SilverStripe will automatically generate hash-less public URLs regardless,
+but external links might still point to legacy hashed public URLs.
+If you have a high traffic site with lots of direct references to asset URLs
+(e.g. search engines indexing popular PDF documents),
+we recommend that you configure HTTP caching for these redirects
+in your webserver (e.g. through `.htaccess`).
+
+The redirect code can be configured via `FlysystemAssetStore.permanent_redirect_response_code`.
+
+If you upgrade an older SilverStripe 4 project to SilverStripe 4.4 and choose not to run the file migration task,
+your files will still be stored under an "hash" folder. Browsers who try to access this file via the "hashless" url will
+be redirected to the "hash" URL with a `302 Temporary Redirect`.
+
+The temporary redirect code can be configured via `FlysystemAssetStore.redirect_response_code`.
+
+#### Do I need to regenerate HTML with existing links to assets?
+
+Pages and other views can contain links to asset locations,
+e.g. as HTML content rendered with `` and `` tags.
+These might point to old locations of files (prior to running the optional migration).
+While SilverStripe will automatically fix these references the next time the view is rendered,
+this content is often cached (e.g. in a CDN).
+
+We have implemented an automatic redirect for URLs pointing to asset
+locations prior to running the optional migration script,
+so there is no need to regenerate any content.
+
+#### Is there any data loss or data integrity issue?
+
+There are no known issues around data integrity.
+All files that were available on a SS 3.x site are still available after upgrading to SS 4.x.
+
+#### Will this change affect my search engine ranking?
+
+As long as your files are still linked on your website,
+search engines will pick up the new links on any projects which have already been migrated.
+The 4.3.2 bugfix will redirect links, which passes on any SEO rankings to the new link location.
+Since links to files should be permanent after the bugfix has been applied,
+this can lead to improved search engine rankings (since existing files under new links don’t need to be re-ranked by search engines).
+
+#### Can I migrate away from the legacy_filenames=true option?
+
+Yes. Simply disable `legacy_filenames` in your YML configuration, then run the `MigrateFileTask`. This will normalise
+the path of all existing assets.
+
+#### Can I still choose legacy_filenames=true when starting new upgrades?
+
+Technically yes, but you need to be aware of the tradeoffs. Once the regression has been fixed, we don’t see the need
+for people to choose this option any more.
+
+SilverStripe 4.4, ignores the `legacy_filenames` in most situation. Enabling `legacy_filenames` on a fresh SilverStripe
+4.4 installation will have no affect.
+
+#### How do I test that the fix has worked on my site?
+
+Before applying the upgrade and migration script:
+Find an existing published and draft file. Get the link by clicking on the preview in `admin/assets`.
+It should link to `assets/[hash]/myfile.pdf`.
+
+After applying the upgrade and migration task, you can test that it applied correctly.
+Please perform these tests on a test or UAT environment, since your local environment might have different routing
+conditions.
+
+ * Check that the file still routes correctly with the hash in place (should redirect)
+ * Remove `[hash]/`, and check that it still routes correctly (should not redirect)
+
+#### Will this patch redirect URLs for previous file versions?
+
+Yes, it will attempt to find the most recent public "hash-less" URL
+for this file and redirect to it.
