Is R8 Backwards Compatible?

When R7 was released, we noticed that it wasn’t fully backwards compatible. (The @IfError was decomissioned in R7.)

Is there anything I need to know about R8 before I download and install it? Is there a listing of functions and features from R7 that are no longer supported in R8?

Thanks in advance.
