This version has a few changes that make it not
entirely backwards compatible.  These are:

1) start() is now an asynchrnous call.  It will no
longer block and call onRun().  Instead, the
initiator/acceptor will run until stop() is called. 
If you want to upgrade without moving your code
around, you can do something like this.

initiator.start();
application.onRun();
initiator.stop();

This will allow older implementations to work as
before.

2) Directory structure has changed for include files. 
So "quickfix/include/SocketInitiator.h", becomes
"quickfix/SocketInitiator.h".  This only effects C++
users. (contribution by Alex Hornby)

3) Header file dependencies have been reduced.  Files
that were previously pulled in by other files no
longer do so.  This may mean you will have to
explicitly pull in certain header files.  Also only
affects C++ users.

4) New UseDataDictionary settings defaults to Y. This
means you will not be able to use QF without a
dictionary unless you explicitly set this to N. This
may mean updating your existing configuration files.

5) Under *nix, the default build settings are now -O2
-g.  The optimizations may cause memory problems on
older compilers or machines.  Just set your CXXFLAGS
evironment variable to blank or -O if this is the
case.

Otherwise there is a variety of updates, including
support for DATA field types (contribution by Nicholas
Palmer).  Read the release notes link above for a
complete listing.
