+=====
 
-    *  Variable names are not case sensitive.
-    *  In cases where multiple values are associated with a variable (eg. 
-       mapext), the values must be seperated by spaces (or their escaped 
-       equivalents for GET requests).
-    *  Variable contents are checked for appropriate data types and magnitude 
-       as they are loaded.
-    *  Any CGI Variable not listed below is simply stored and can be 
-       referenced within a template file.

+Changes
+=======
 
-    *  New way to perform attribute queries: No longer do you set a layer 
-       filter, but rather you pass a query string (and optionally an query 
-       item) to the query function. To do this 2 new CGI parameters were 
-       added to MapServer: QSTRING and QITEM.
-    *  SAVEMAP is switched off: The SAVEMAP functionality is considered 
-       insecure, since the saved files are accessible by everyone.
-    *  TEMPLATE has been removed, since the map_web_template syntax can be 
-       used to alter a template file. Simplifies security maintenance by only 
-       having to deal with this option in a single place. Note that the 
-       TEMPLATEPATTERN of the mapfile has to be used to enable this feature.

+From MapServer version 4.x to version 5.x
+-----------------------------------------
+
+*  Modifying map parameters through a URL has changed to allow for 
+   chunks of a mapfile to be modified at once.  The syntax has changed
+   accordingly, so please see the *Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL*
+   section.
