-<!-- =section xpachanges SYNOPSIS -->
-<H2>Summary</H2>
-<P>
-This document describes changes that will affect users who migrate
-from XPA 1.0 to XPA 2.0.

-<!-- =section xpachanges DESCRIPTION -->
-<H2>Description</H2>
-<P>
-There have been a few changes that affect users who upgrade XPA
-from version 1.0 to version 2.0. These changes are detailed below.
-<UL>
-<P>
-<LI>XPA commands no longer have a resolver routine (this is open to
-negotiations, but we decided the idea was dumb). For the SAOtng
-program, this means that you must explicitly specify the access
-point, i.e.,:
-<PRE>
- cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng fits
-</PRE>
-
-<P>
-instead of:
-<PRE>
- cat foo.fits | xpaset SAOtng
-</PRE>
-<P>
-<LI>By default, xpaset, xpaget, etc. now wait for the server callback to
-complete; i.e., the old -W is implied (and the switch is ignored).
-This allows support for better error handling. If you want xpaset, etc.
-to return before the callback is complete, use -n switch:
-<PRE>
- echo "file foo.fits" | xpaset -n SAOtng
-</PRE>
-<P>
-<LI>The old -w switch in xpaset and xpaget is no longer necessary (and is
-ignored), since you can have more than one process communicating with
-an xpa access point at one time.
-
-<P>
-<LI>The new -p switch on xpaset means you need not read from stdout:
-<PRE>
- xpaset -p SAOtng colormap I8
-</PRE>
-<P>
-will send the paramlist to the SAOtng callback without reading from stdin.
