 == Xlat expansions
 
-The use of `%%` to escape `%` is no longer supported.  Just use `%`,
-and the parser is smart enough to figure things out.
+Xlat expansions have been changed from syntax like `%{md5:...}` to `%md5(...)`.
+
+=== Removed expansions
+
+`%{integer:...}` has been removed.  Just use a cast, such as `(integer) &Service-Type`.

-=== %(integer:<value>)

-Convert a value to an integer.
-
-In normal operation, `integer` attributes are printed using the name
-given by a `VALUE` statement in a dictionary. Similarly, date
-attributes are printed as dates, i.e., "January 1 2010.
-
-The `integer` expansion applies only to attributes which can be
-converted to an integer. For all other inputs, it returns `0`.
-
-A common usage is to find the difference between two dates.
-
-For example, if a request contains `Service-Type = Login-User`, the
-expansion of `%(integer:%{Service-Type})` will yield `1`, which is the
-value associated with the `Login-User` name. Using
-`%(integer:%{Event-Timestamp})` will return the event timestamp as an
-unsigned 32-bit number.
