-Install
-=======
-
-**Install self-contained binary wheels for OSX and Linux from PyPi:**
-
-    $ pip install confluent-kafka
-
-**Install AvroProducer and AvroConsumer:**
-
-    $ pip install confluent-kafka[avro]
-
-**Install from source from PyPi** *(requires librdkafka + dependencies to be installed separately)*:
-
-    $ pip install --no-binary :all: confluent-kafka
+Broker Compatibility
+====================
+The Python client (as well as the underlying C library librdkafka) supports
+all broker versions &gt;= 0.8.
+But due to the nature of the Kafka protocol in broker versions 0.8 and 0.9 it
+is not safe for a client to assume what protocol version is actually supported
+by the broker, thus you will need to hint the Python client what protocol
+version it may use. This is done through two configuration settings:
 
-**Install from source directory:**
+ * `broker.version.fallback=YOUR_BROKER_VERSION` (default 0.9.0.1)
+ * `api.version.request=true|false` (default true)
 
-    $ pip install .
+When using a Kafka 0.10 broker or later you don't need to do anything
+(`api.version.request=true` is the default).
+If you use Kafka broker 0.9 or 0.8 you must set
+`api.version.request=false` and set
+`broker.version.fallback` to your broker version,
+e.g `broker.version.fallback=0.9.0.1`.

 Prerequisites
 =============
 
- * Python >= 2.7 or Python 3.x
- * ([librdkafka](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka) >= 0.9.2)
+ * Python >= 2.6 or Python 3.x
+ * [librdkafka](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka) >= 0.9.1 (embedded in Linux wheels)
 
-The latest version of librdkafka is embedded in the OSX and Linux wheels,
-for other platforms or when a specific version of librdkafka is desired, follow these guidelines:

  * On **OSX**, use **homebrew** and do `sudo brew install librdkafka`
 
-**NOTE:** The pre-built Linux wheels do NOT contain SASL Kerberos support. If you need SASL Kerberos support you must install librdkafka and its dependencies using the above repositories and then build confluent-kafka from source using the instructions below.
