4.2 Backwards compatibility

The first widely distributed version of Xy-pic was version 2 (from release 1.40 to release 2.6). A special compatibility mode is used automatically if the old style of loading is used (using files named xypic.tex and xypic.sty). You can also mix old and new diagrams in a document if you load as described in section 1.1 and add the declaration \xyoption{v2}. This provides almost full backwards compatibility: the following are the only known exceptions: Finally note that sometimes the spacing with version is `improved' relative to earlier versions . Please report all other things that do not work the same in version 2.6 and to the author.
