Following changes may create regressions for some external modules, but were necessary to make Dolibarr better:

*ALL EXTERNAL MODULES THAT WERE NOT CORRECTLY DEVELOPPED WILL NOT WORK ON V15 (All modules that forgot to manage the security token field

into forms will be broken. The security token field is expected since Dolibarr v9 but a lot of external modules did not implement it).

*Update hook 'printOriginObjectLine', removed check on product type and special code. Need now reshook.
*Old deprecated module "SimplePOS" has been completely removed. Use module "TakePOS" is you need a Point Of Sale.
*The method static ActionComm::getActions($db, ...) is no more static. Use $actioncomm->getActions(...) instead (without $db param).
*The 'action=delete&file=...' has been replaced with 'action=deletefile&file=...' to avoid confusion with deletion of object lines.
*Method getDictvalue has been renamed into getDictionaryValue to match camel case rule.
*To execute shell or command line command, your code must never use method like exec, shell_exec, popen, .. but must use the built-in

method executeCLI() available into core/class/utils.class.php

*Class file expeditionbatch.class.php renamed to expeditionlinebatch.class.php
*ExpeditionLineBatch::fetchAll is not static anymore and first parameter $db is removed
*ExtraFields->showOutputField parameter 4 'extrafieldsobjectkey' is now required
*CommonObject method add_object_linked now sets targettype to 'mymodule_myobject' instead of 'myobject',

you can use hook 'setLinkedObjectSourceTargetType' to set your usual targettype
