If upgrading from 3.7.x or earlier, please note that slug-related settings in 4.0+ use {slug} and/or {lang} rather than %s. If %s-style settings are encountered, Pelican will emit a warning and fall back to the default setting. Some user-submitted themes might try to format setting values but fail upon site build with a TypeError. In such cases, the theme needs to be updated. For example, instead of TAG_FEED_ATOM|format(tag.slug), use TAG_FEED_ATOM.format(slug=tag.slug)
