API changes from 4.x to 5.0

For a description of the major architecture changes, see blog post.

This wiki page contains a list with some commonly-used types, and where they were moved in SharpDevelop 5. This table is highly incomplete. If you are having trouble with the new API in SD 5.0, feel free to ask questions in the forum.
