Significant differences between TS 5.5 and 6.5

Using version 5.52 and 6.5 on Solaris

Two significant differences that I have found between version 5.5.2 and 6.5 so far.

1. In a workflow, using 5.5.2, __VALUE__('iw_file'); returns a list of selected files, each starting with a forward slash. Using 6.5, the same variable returns the same list of files but each file does *not* start with a leading slash. This may cause problems when building full file paths.

2. the area_path variable as passed to a CGI task in 5.5.2 will start with /default/main (assuming you are in the default content store), whereas with 6.5 the same variable starts with the server name so instead of /default/main you get /server-name/default/main.

I can only assume there are some other nasty little surprises awaiting me as I test how well our installation works with the latest version.
