API Change History > 1.1 > Breaking Changes

Below is a list of breaking changes organized by namespace and type. At first glance, the list appears quite lengthy. However, many of the modifications have been made in less commonly used classes and interfaces, and so most developers will likely only be affected by a relatively small subset of these API changes.
