Hi Ole,
convert-ly is usually very reliable (and important) from version to
version. But you can also read about the command changes by looking at
python/convertrules.py
which is the python file that houses the different rules. What you're
looking for in that file are the lines like this ...
conversions.append (((2, 11, 15), conv, """#'edge-height ->
#'bound-details #'right/left #'text = ..."""))
... which contains three arguments in the version as a tuplet
(2.11.15), the code to do the conversion (labelled conv), and then a
verbal description of the rule enclosed in a triple-quote string. If
you simply read over the verbal descriptions inside those triple-quote
strings, you can get a pretty idea of which commands have changed.
Read from the bottom of the file up since it's only really the most
recent changes that will be interesting.
Hi dev, Hi Graham,
Maybe snarfing convert-ly rules (the textual descriptions, anyway) and
adding to the web docs somewhere would be helpful. (Or maybe this
already exists somewhere and I've never noticed!)
(I know convert-ly takes care of this, but lots of users seem to be
conscientious enough that they'd probably read the syntax changes
version by version if readily available.)
