 <p>The following changes can break backward compatibility in applications using an earlier version of Vaadin:</p>
 
 <ul>
-  <li>The <tt>setColumnCollapsed()</tt> method in <b>Table</b> throws <b>IllegalStateException</b> instead of <b>IllegalAccessException</b> if collapsing is not allowed.</li>
-  <li>The <tt>removeWindow(Window)</tt> method in <b>Window</b> now triggers window close listeners also when called explicitly.
-      See <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/3865">#3865</a> for more info.
-  </li>
-  <li><b>RichTextArea</b> no longer extends <b>TextField</b> as it cannot implement (and never has) a large part of the <b>TextField</b> API.</li>
-  <li>The client side window implementation has changed because of <a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5039">#5039</a> and therefore TestBench scripts may not be 100% compatible. 
-  		Replaces locators like "<tt>VWindow[0]/ScrollPanel[0]...</tt>" with "<tt>VWindow[0]/FocusableScrollPanel[0]...</tt>". An example regular 
-  		expression for replacement: Search "<tt>VWindow\[(\d)\]/ScrollPanel\[0\]</tt>" and replace with "<tt>VWindow[$1]/FocusableScrollPanel[0]</tt>".</li>
-  <li><tt>AbstractStringValidator</tt> and now converts non-String values using <tt>toString()</tt> prior to validation (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5785">#5785</a>).
-  This also affects most built-in validators such as <b>IntegerValidator</b>.</li>
-  <li>TestBench scripts recorded in portals with earlier versions of Vaadin will need to be updated to work with @version@ a "v-" has been prefixed to the ID of the DIV element where the Vaadin application is placed (<a href="http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5912">#5912</a>). The test scripts can be fixed by prepending the "v-" to the id (e.g. <tt>vaadin=VaadinLiferayThemePortlet_WAR_demo_LAYOUT_10418</tt> should be changed to <tt>vaadin=v-VaadinLiferayThemePortlet_WAR_demo_LAYOUT_10418</tt>) or alternatively re-recording the test.</li>
