# 4.x Migration & Compatibility

For all intents and purposes, Redux 4.x performs the same as 3.x. To improve support of WordPress standards, a number of functions have been renamed. A shim has been included for each of these functions with a deprecation notice that only appears when WP_DEBUG is enabled, dev_mode is enabled, or when the site is running locally. It is strongly recommended migrating the new function names. Most of these functions are internal and will not impact performance.

Below are the affected classes and methods.
