 Here is [[Labs/Ubiquity/Parser_2_API_Conversion_Tutorial|the command conversion tutorial]] that documents how to take a command written for the old version and make it work in the new version.

+= Changes to Built-in and Standard Feed Commands =
+* Built-in and Standard Feed commands have all been updated to work in Parser 2.
+* New commands include "enable command", "disable command", "get support", "run selector-selector", "command history", "undo closed tabs", "run bookmarklet", and "check livemark".  See the command list page for documentation on these new commands.
+* The "map these", "sparkline", "convert (to format)", and all image-manipulation commands have been moved out of the standard feeds into the experimental-command feed, because their interfaces and implementation need to be redesigned in order to bring them in line with the standards set by the other commands.  You can still run them if you go to the "hack ubiquity" page and click on the "experimental feeds" link (at the bottom left).
+* Most commands have been renamed to bring them in line with our new naming standards.  All commands with hyphens in their names now have spaces instead.  Command names should all start with action verbs now (e.g. 'check weather' instead of 'weather', 'list commands' instead of 'command list').  Many synonyms have been added.  Wherever possible, we tried to make it so that using the old command name would still complete to the new name (e.g. typing 'weather' still completes to 'check weather').
