Interface +breaks and deprecated functionality

On ScreenPlay, support +for direct screen access (DSA) is maintained for backward compatibility +reasons, although Symbian recommends the use of external surfaces +in preference to DSA. However, whereas on some earlier +devices, applications might work without fully conforming to the rules +of DSA, these rules are now necessarily enforced. See DSA Migration Guide for information about the guidelines applications must follow in +order to be able to run correctly on a ScreenPlay device.
