+To keep `.sqlx` up-to-date you need to run `cargo sqlx prepare` before every commit that
 adds or changes a query; you can do this with a Git pre-commit hook:
 
 ```shell
-$ echo "cargo sqlx prepare > /dev/null 2>&1; git add sqlx-data.json > /dev/null" > .git/hooks/pre-commit 
+$ echo "cargo sqlx prepare > /dev/null 2>&1; git add .sqlx > /dev/null" > .git/hooks/pre-commit 
 ```
 
 Note that this may make committing take some time as it'll cause your project to be recompiled, and
 as an ergonomic choice it does _not_ block committing if `cargo sqlx prepare` fails.
 
-We're working on a way for the macros to save their data to the filesystem automatically which should be part of SQLx 0.6,

+We're working on a way for the macros to save their data to the filesystem automatically which should be part of SQLx 0.7,

+However, this behaviour is not considered stable and it is still recommended to use `cargo sqlx prepare`.

 ### Why does my project using sqlx query macros not build on docs.rs?
 
-Docs.rs doesn't have access to your database, so it needs to be provided a `sqlx-data.json` file and be instructed to set the `SQLX_OFFLINE` environment variable to true while compiling your project. Luckily for us, docs.rs creates a `DOCS_RS` environment variable that we can access in a custom build script to achieve this functionality.
