Yes. With just about every new version of Varnish, there's always
something. It may be not be much for each version (for Varnish 6.3.0,
for example, you need to replace WS_Reserve() with WS_ReserveSize(), or
else you get deprecation warnings), but enough so that some kind of fix
is often necessary.

If you're jumping from 4.1 to 6.0, chances are that quite a few of
things accumulated over time.

The What's New/Upgrading docs for the various versions often have a
section about changes for developers of VMODs and other third-party
software, so you might want to look through those. The log in
changes.rst in the git repo also goes into such changes, in more
technical detail.


Good luck,
Geoff
