+Using custom fingerprinting methods
+-----------------------------------
+
+Errbit now allows you to easily use your own Fingerprint Strategy if that's what you'd like to do. If you are upgrading from a very old version of errbit, you can use the `LegacyFingerprint` to provide yourself
+with compatibility. The fingerprint strategy can be changed by adding an initializer to errbit:
+
+```ruby
+# config/fingerprint.rb
+ErrorReport.fingerprint_strategy = LegacyFingerprint
+```
+
+The easiest way to add custom fingerprint methods is to simply subclass `Fingerprint`
