# Breaking Changes
This document provides a list of breaking changes since the V1 release
of the stomp client library.
## v2 and v3
### Module support
Version 2 was released before module support was present in golang, and changes were tagged wit that version.
Therefore we had to update again the import path.
The API it's stable the only breaking change is the import path.
Version 3:
```go
import (
"github.com/go-stomp/stomp/v3"
)
```
## v1 and v2
### 1. No longer using gopkg.in
Version 1 of the library used Gustavo Niemeyer's `gopkg.in` facility for versioning Go libraries.
For a number of reasons, the `stomp` library no longer uses this facility. For this reason the
import path has changed.
Version 1:
```go
import (
"gopkg.in/stomp.v1"
)
```
Version 2:
```go
import (
"github.com/go-stomp/stomp"
)
```
### 2. Frame types moved to frame package
Version 1 of the library included a number of types to do with STOMP frames in the `stomp`
package, and the `frame` package consisted of just a few constant definitions.
It was decided to move the following types out of the `stomp` package and into the `frame` package:
* `stomp.Frame` -> `frame.Frame`
* `stomp.Header` -> `frame.Header`
* `stomp.Reader` -> `frame.Reader`
* `stomp.Writer` -> `frame.Writer`
This change was considered worthwhile for the following reasons:
* This change reduces the surface area of the `stomp` package and makes it easier to learn.
* Ideally, users of the `stomp` package do not need to directly reference the items in the `frame`
package, and the types moved are not needed in normal usage of the `stomp` package.
### 3. Use of functional options
Version 2 of the stomp library makes use of functional options to provide a clean, flexible way
of specifying options in the following API calls:
* [Dial()](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-stomp/stomp#Dial)
* [Connect()](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-stomp/stomp#Connect)
* [Conn.Send()](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-stomp/stomp#Conn.Send)
* [Transaction.Send()](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-stomp/stomp#Transaction.Send)
* [Conn.Subscribe()](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-stomp/stomp#Conn.Subscribe)
The idea for this comes from Dave Cheney's very excellent blog post,
[Functional Options for Friendly APIs](http://dave.cheney.net/2014/10/17/functional-options-for-friendly-apis).
While these new APIs are a definite improvement, they do introduce breaking changes with Version 1.
