What seems to be missing from the 6.0 documentation are compatibility guides for categories of things, e.g., graphics, text, list manipulation. Of course the home page for each function that has changed since 5.2 has a link allowing one to highlight what's changed. But that's useful only if you know the particular function you want to examine. And the compatibility guides limit themselves to compatibility for individual packages. And of course you can take a 5.2 notebook and let 6.0 scan it for possible issues of compatibility. Still this does not seem enough when the changes are so pervasive, numerous, and, in many cases, profound. Any comments? -- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
