Some changes wont be a big deal
If you happened to use the style REALbasic.function name then some of those will need fixing as they have moved from the REALbasic framework into different ones. IF you need to prefix things with the right namespace you’ll have to sort out which one it got moved to but its USUALLY one named the same as the data type. So if you used to write<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dim s As String \n\ns = REALbasic.Titlecase(someOtherStringVar) \/\/ or TitleCase(\"foo\")\ns  = someOtherStringVar.Titlecase \/\/ this form wont allow \"foo\".Titlecase<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
this will need to become<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dim s As String \n\ns = String.Titlecase(someOtherStringVar) \ns  = someOtherStringVar.Titlecase \/\/ this form still wont allow \"foo\".Titlecase<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Some others may cause more work since the replacement isnt as capable 
   ie\/ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dim tinfo1 As Xojo.Introspection.TypeInfo = GetTypeInfo(Integer) \/\/ this works in versions up to 2020r2\nDim tinfo As Introspection.TypeInfo = GetTypeInfo( Integer ) \/\/ this does not work in 2020r2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
