# Migration Guide
+## Upgrading From Spark SQL 1.4 to 1.5
+
+ - Optimized execution using manually managed memory (Tungsten) is now
enabled by default, along with
+ code generation for expression evaluation. These features can both be
disabled by setting
+ `spark.sql.tungsten.enabled` to `false.
+ - Parquet schema merging is no longer enabled by default. It can be
re-enabled by setting
+ `spark.sql.parquet.mergeSchema` to `true`.
+ - Resolution of strings to columns in python now supports using dots
(`.`) to qualify the column or
+ access nested values. For example `df['table.column.nestedField']`.
However, this means that if
+ your column name contains any dots you must now escape them using
backticks.

Haha, I didn't know how to escape backticks and was lazy...
