+
+Imports
+^^^^^^^
+
+Scala
+~~~~~
+
+To use ScalaSTM the import from Scala is::
+
+  import scala.concurrent.stm._
+
+Java
+~~~~
+
+For Java there is a special helper object with Java-friendly methods::
+
+  import scala.concurrent.stm.japi.Stm;
+
+These methods can also be statically imported::
+
+  import static scala.concurrent.stm.japi.Stm.*;
+
+Other imports that are needed are in the stm package, particularly ``Ref``::
+
+  import scala.concurrent.stm.Ref;
+
+Transactions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Scala
+~~~~~
+
+Both v1.3 and v2.0 provide an ``atomic`` block, however, the ScalaSTM ``atomic``
+is a function from ``InTxn`` to return type.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  atomic {
+    // do something in transaction
+  }
+
+v2.0::
+
+  atomic { implicit txn =>
+    // do something in transaction
+  }
+
+Note that in ScalaSTM the ``InTxn`` in the atomic function is usually marked as
+implicit as transactional references require an implicit ``InTxn`` on all
+methods. That is, the transaction is statically required and it is a
+compile-time warning to use a reference without a transaction. There is also a
+``Ref.View`` for operations without requiring an ``InTxn`` statically. See below
+for more information.
+
+Java
+~~~~
+
+In the ScalaSTM Java API helpers there are atomic methods which accept
+``java.lang.Runnable`` and ``java.util.concurrent.Callable``.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  new Atomic() {
+      public Object atomically() {
+          // in transaction
+          return null;
+      }
+  }.execute();
+
+  SomeObject result = new Atomic<SomeObject>() {
+      public SomeObject atomically() {
+          // in transaction
+          return ...;
+      }
+  }.execute();
+
+v2.0::
+
+  import static scala.concurrent.stm.japi.Stm.atomic;
+  import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
+
+  atomic(new Runnable() {
+      public void run() {
+          // in transaction
+      }
+  });
+
+  SomeObject result = atomic(new Callable<SomeObject>() {
+      public SomeObject call() {
+          // in transaction
+          return ...;
+      }
+  });
+
+Ref
+^^^
+
+Scala
+~~~~~
+
+Other than the import, creating a Ref is basically identical between Akka STM in
+v1.3 and ScalaSTM used in v2.0.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  val ref = Ref(0)
+
+v2.0::
+
+  val ref = Ref(0)
+
+The API for Ref is similar. For example:
+
+v1.3::
+
+  ref.get // get current value
+  ref()   // same as get
+
+  ref.set(1)  // set to new value, return old value
+  ref() = 1   // same as set
+  ref.swap(2) // same as set
+
+  ref alter { _ + 1 } // apply a function, return new value
+
+v2.0::
+
+  ref.get // get current value
+  ref()   // same as get
+
+  ref.set(1)  // set to new value, return nothing
+  ref() = 1   // same as set
+  ref.swap(2) // set and return old value
+
+  ref transform { _ + 1 } // apply function, return nothing
+
+  ref transformIfDefined { case 1 => 2 } // apply partial function if defined
+
+Ref.View
+^^^^^^^^
+
+In v1.3 using a ``Ref`` method outside of a transaction would automatically
+create a single-operation transaction. In v2.0 (in ScalaSTM) there is a
+``Ref.View`` which provides methods without requiring a current
+transaction.
+
+Scala
+~~~~~
+
+The ``Ref.View`` can be accessed with the ``single`` method::
+
+  ref.single() // returns current value
+  ref.single() = 1 // set new value
+
+  // with atomic this would be:
+
+  atomic { implicit t => ref() }
+  atomic { implicit t => ref() = 1 }
+
+Java
+~~~~
+
+As ``Ref.View`` in ScalaSTM does not require implicit transactions, this is more
+easily used from Java. ``Ref`` could be used, but requires explicit threading of
+transactions. There are helper methods in ``japi.Stm`` for creating ``Ref.View``
+references.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  Ref<Integer> ref = new Ref<Integer>(0);
+
+v2.0::
+
+  Ref.View<Integer> ref = Stm.newRef(0);
+
+The ``set`` and ``get`` methods work the same way for both versions.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  ref.get();  // get current value
+  ref.set(1); // set new value
+
+v2.0::
+
+  ref.get();  // get current value
+  ref.set(1); // set new value
+
+There are also ``transform``, ``getAndTransform``, and ``transformAndGet``
+methods in ``japi.Stm`` which accept ``scala.runtime.AbstractFunction1``.
+
+There are ``increment`` helper methods for ``Ref.View<Integer>`` and
+``Ref.View<Long>`` references.
+
+Transaction lifecycle callbacks
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Scala
+~~~~~
+
+It is also possible to hook into the transaction lifecycle in ScalaSTM. See the
+ScalaSTM documentation for the full range of possibilities.
+
+v1.3::
+
+  atomic {
+    deferred {
+      // executes when transaction commits
+    }
+    compensating {
+      // executes when transaction aborts
+    }
+  }
+
+v2.0::
+
+  atomic { implicit txn =>
+    txn.afterCommit { txnStatus =>
+      // executes when transaction commits
+    }
+    txn.afterRollback { txnStatus =>
+      // executes when transaction rolls back
+    }
+  }
+
+Java
+~~~~
+
+Rather than using the ``deferred`` and ``compensating`` methods in
+``akka.stm.StmUtils``, use the ``afterCommit`` and ``afterRollback`` methods in
+``scala.concurrent.stm.japi.Stm``, which behave in the same way and accept
+``Runnable``.
+
+Transactional Datastructures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In ScalaSTM see ``TMap``, ``TSet``, and ``TArray`` for transactional
+datastructures.
+
+There are helper methods for creating these from Java in ``japi.Stm``:
+``newTMap``, ``newTSet``, and ``newTArray``. These datastructures implement the
+``scala.collection`` interfaces and can also be used from Java with Scala's
+``JavaConversions``. There are helper methods that apply the conversions,
+returning ``java.util`` ``Map``, ``Set``, and ``List``: ``newMap``, ``newSet``,
+and ``newList``.
