Over the years as elepar technology has evolved, so has the terminology. Still, although older documents and tutorials may at first appear to be describing an entirely different technology, they can be understood in terms of current terminology (such as that used in the Scalable Planning book) with some minor translation. The behavior (semantics) and form (syntax) are largely unchanged for the basic constructs.
