Hello.

What are the main differences between vB3 and vB4 in plugins architecture? If someone could describe it in advanced level.

Especially answering on those questions:
- Does old hooks names changed?
- How changed plugin.xml schema?
- Does there were big changes in DB structure?
- Does old functions where moved to other files?

And in shorter way - what are most common things which should be changed if you have already existing plugin for vB3 and want to make it ok for vB4?

Great thanks for all hints :)

One of the biggest changes is most coems down to how variables are used within templates. This is one of the main reaons why vb3 mods don't work on vb4. Phrases and variables have changed alot.
