v5 is compatible with v4. However, it contains some depreciated classes, methods and properties. All code written against v4 will compile with v5 but there may be some compiler warnings due to depreciated items that may need to be resolved. Here is a list of the depreciated items in v5 and suggested resolution:

• Report Detail – This was previously known as a Report "Body". This is still the heart of the Report and the section that is repeated for each record in the PDF. (v5.1.0)
• AutoSplit Property – This was previously referred to as the Splittable property. This still indicates whether the Report Detail is allowed to split its elements at the bottom of a PDF page. Setting this to False will always keep those elements together. (v5.1.0)
• GroupBy SubReport – This was previously a SubReport property. In version 5.1 there is now a separate Query Type called "GroupBy". (v5.1.0)
• Split Logic Change – There is an improvement to the Report Detail’s splitting logic that in a few cases will yield different results than in previous ReportWriter versions. If the AutoSplit property (previously called 'Splittable') is set to True and the Report does need to split, any whitespace between the actual split point and the next visible element will now be removed. This yields a more predictable result as the elements that will begin on the next page will always start at the same location. (v5.1.0)
• Document.Prepress property – Use Document.OutputIntents or Document.PdfXVersion instead. (v5.0.0)
• MergeOptions.Prepress property – Use MergeOptions.OutputIntents instead. (v5.0.0)
• TrueTypeFont class – Use OpenTypeFont class instead. (v5.0.0)

v4 is compatible with v3. However, it contains some depreciated classes, methods and properties. All code written against v3 will compile with v4 but there may be some compiler warnings due to depreciated items that may need to be resolved. Here is a list of the depreciated items in v5 and suggested resolution:

• HtmlTextArea Class – Use the FormattedTextArea class instead. (v4.0.0)
• HtmlTextAreaStyle Class – Use the FormattedTextAreaStyle class instead. (v4.0.0)
• Document.DrawToWeb methods – Not necessary to pass System.Web.UI.Page argument. (v4.0.0)

• A basic difference between the way documents are merged in v3.x and v4.0 is that by default, v3.0 did not preserve form fields. Version 4.0 will now preserve form fields by default.
