You need the accumulated release notes.

Unfortunately, for some reason, a person at RS decided not to include  
the release notes from RB2005 so it is impossible for someone going  
>from 5.5 to 2006/7 to get up to date in detail.

I wrote http://realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php? 
reportid=fggjpcmj asking them to include these release notes.

Their response was:
"
REAL Software on 2006-12-14
A summary of what has changed is available on the website:
http://www.realsoftware.com/products/realbasic/new/2005/
http://www.realsoftware.com/products/realbasic/new/2006/

Also, the documentation folder contains a file called:
Important changes for 5.5 projects.txt
"

I don't understand the reluctance to include one small text file, for  
the convenience of people migrating. I also don't understand how it  
would aid them to pretend that people don't migrate from earlier than  
2006.

I will send you a copy of the 2005 release notes by individual email,  
hopefully won't get my knuckles wrapped for violating copyright -  
Fair Use should cover it if you regard the size of that document  
compared to the total docs :-)

When you have the release notes, a very useful utility is http:// 
ljensen.com/releasenotebrowser which formats and makes it easy to  
filter results from many notes.
