Changes

SendAddonMessage, RegisterAddonMessagePrefix, IsAddonMessagePrefixRegistered and GetRegisteredAddonMessagePrefixes have been moved inside the new C_ChatInfo namespace.
COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED event no longer provides a loadout. CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo should be used OnEvent to retrieve that info.
Frame:RegisterEvent now raises an error when trying to register an unknown event.
UnitAura no longer accepts a spell name as a filter. You can use the new AuraUtil.FindAuraByName instead, implemented in Lua.
UNIT_POWER is now UNIT_POWER_UPDATE
The limit on the number of chat channels that can be joined by the player has been increased from 10 to 20.
C_Vignettes replaced by C_VignetteInfo

Removals

"all map API was removed", including functions like GetMapContinents or GetCurrentMapContinent.
- GetCurrentMapAreaID has been removed. Use C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player") to get the current uiMapID for the player or WorldMapFrame:GetMapID() to get the uiMapID map currently displayed in the World Map Frame UI.
- GetPlayerMapPosition has been removed. Use C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition(uiMapID, unitToken) to get the position of the unit (only works for the player and party members).
EJ_GetCurrentInstance has been removed, use EJ_GetInstanceForMap(C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player")) instead to get the current instance ID.
GLYPH_ADDED, GLYPH_REMOVED, and GLYPH_UPDATED have been removed.
FindSpellOverrideNameByName, FindBaseSpellNameByName, and SearchGuildRecipes have been removed.
