WARNING:

If you enabled (for test) the experimental BlockedLog module before 7.0, you must purge the table llx_blockedlog because
way to save data for final version has changed.

Following changes may create regressions for some external modules, but were necessary to make Dolibarr better:
* The methode "cloture" on contract were renamed into "closeAll".
* The method "is_erasable" of invoice return a value <= 0 if not erasable (value is meaning) instead of always 0.  
* The substitution key for reference of objects is now __REF__ whatever is the object (it replaces __ORDERREF__, __PROPALREF__, ...)
* The substition key __SIGNATURE__ was renamed into __USER_SIGNATURE__ to follow naming conventions. 
* Substitution keys with syntax %XXX% were renamed into __XXX__ to match others.
* Removed old deprecated REST API (APIs found into '/root' section of the REST API explorer in Dolibarr v6).
* Some REST API to access setup features, like dictionaries (country, town, extrafields, ...) were moved into a common API "/setup".
* The REST API /documents were renamed into /documents/download and /documents/upload. 
* Page bank/index.php, bank/bankentries.php and comm/actions/listactions.php were renamed into bank/list.php, bank/bankentries_list.php and comm/actions/list.php to follow page naming conventions (so default filter/sort order features can also work for this pages).
* The trigger ORDER_SUPPLIER_STATUS_ONPROCESS was renamed into ORDER_SUPPLIER_STATUS_ORDERED.
* The trigger ORDER_SUPPLIER_STATUS_RECEIVED_ALL was renamed into ORDER_SUPPLIER_STATUS_RECEIVED_COMPLETELY.
* The parameter note into method cloture() is added at end of private note (previously in v6, it replaced).
* The parameter $user is now mandatory for method createFromOrder and createFromPropal.
* Removed js library 'fileupload' that was not used by core code.
* Jquery plugin tableDnd updated. You now need to use decodeURI on the return value of tableDnDSerialize() and add 'td.' to the beginning of the dragHandle match string. 
* IE8 and earlier and Firefox 12 and earlier (< 2012) are no more supported. 
* The module ExpenseReport use numbering rules that you can setup (like other modules do). If you need to keep the hard coded numbering rule of expenses report used in 6.0, just add constant  EXPENSEREPORT_USE_OLD_NUMBERING_RULE to 1.
* If you use the external module "multicompany", you must also upgrade the module. Multicompany module for Dolibarr v7 is required because with Dolibarr v7, payment modes and payment conditions are management as data that are dedicated to each company. If you keep your old version of multicompany module, mode and condition of payments will appears empty in all companies that are not the first one. By upgrading the multicompany module to a version that support Dolibarr v7, everything should work as expected.
