Hi Ole,
convert-ly is usually very reliable (and important) from version to
version. But you can also read about the command changes by looking at
python/convertrules.py
which is the python file that houses the different rules. What you're
looking for in that file are the lines like this ...
conversions.append (((2, 11, 15), conv, """#'edge-height ->
#'bound-details #'right/left #'text = ..."""))
... which contains three arguments in the version as a tuplet
(2.11.15), the code to do the conversion (labelled conv), and then a
verbal description of the rule enclosed in a triple-quote string. If
you simply read over the verbal descriptions inside those triple-quote
strings, you can get a pretty idea of which commands have changed.
Read from the bottom of the file up since it's only really the most
recent changes that will be interesting.
