It is in the read me document. Here is the list:
A Few Things To Note If You Don’t Like Reading Manuals.
1 Local scope has been changed to request scope. This more accurately describes the life of the variable.
2 Local scope has been kept as an alias to Request scope to ensure backward compatability. The Witango Dev Studio version 5 uses Request scope with all actions instead of Local scope and will therefore produce code that is not fully compatible with a Tango 2000 server. This can be worked around by opening your taf and tcf files in a text editor and replacing Request with Local in the actions. On a Tango 2000 server all Request scoped variables will function as Custom scoped variables.
3 Request and Method scope have been optimized for speed and will operate faster than shared scopes like Domain, Application and Custom.
4 Always quote your parameter values, especially if they are string values.
5 The server settings now have the default scope set to Request. If you do not scope your variables (we recommend that you do) you will need to change this setting in the witango.ini file to User. Using a default scope of request will typically keep memory usage to a minimum and performance optimized.
6 The httpheader configuration variable does not function the same way in Witango v5.0 as it did in Tango 2000. Partial headers are no longer allowed and you now need to send complete http headers. There are 2 new tags to assist you in formulating http headers - @HTTPREASONPHRASE and @HTTPRESPONSECODE
7 TCF objects now operate in shared scopes without crashing the server.
8 Always scope your variables. This make more robust code and takes load off the server as it does not have to search the different scopes for the variable name. e.g. @@MyVariable forces the server to search the different variable scopes (domain, application, custom, user and request) while @@user$MyVariable would not require the server to search the different scopes.
9 If you have installed an alternate ODBC driver manager ensure that the path in ODBCDMLIBRARY points to the odbc library you are using.
10 The license key generated in 30 day trial mode is tied to the machines IP addresses or host names. The server will report an invalid license if either of these changes. This may affect installations on portables. A fully registered license key does not have this restriction.

The 'Witango Server 5 What's New pdf' has details on the changes between Witango 5 and Tango2000.
It isn't a checklist as such, but it is comprehensive.

I swear I remember a guide for converting apps that Phil had on the website (it was something like a list of things to remember & doublecheck) that was mentioned here. But I can't find it on the website nor any mention in the list archives.
Does anyone have a link to this, or did I hallucinate the whole thing?
Thanks. j
