I'd use "has changed" and get rid of the comma, so while I'm changing
it here's a shortened version:

    NSD 4 has changed the configuration directory from /etc/nsd3 to
    /etc/nsd.

Otherwise I like it.

That hadn't occurred to me; and I'm glad you made me re-read this
because otherwise I'd also have missed the fact that it refers to "a
software" (or rather "an alternative name server software").  Nope,
"wares" are always mass-nouns in English; but it's a tricky one.
Usually I'd just say that the word "software" is redundant, but here
it's being used to distinguish the nameserver program from the
physical server it runs on.  How about improving keyword searchability
by replacing "name server software" with "DNS service"?
