There is one thing that I know of. The new IMP uses a new format for how it 
stores filter values in the database. Apparently when you login to the new 
IMP, all your filters are converted from the old style to the new style. 
However, on logging back in to the old IMP, you now get errors on the 
screen if you have set the system to run the filters when you login or when 
the screen refreshes. They don't appear to hurt anything, but if you don't 
want your users seeing errors, make sure that once they login to the new 
IMP system, they stay there.
