### 11.2 Incompatible changes compared to FpML 4.1

In previous versions of FpML one of the most frequent uses of the 'equitySwap' element was for representing multiple types of Total Return Swaps, which could not be described as equities. The EquitySwap product type coped admirably with these but was misnamed. This was very confusing for implementers so the FpML Standards Committee decided that the EquitySwap types should be renamed ReturnSwap and that the equitySwap element should be deprecated and substituted by a new returnSwap element.

The equitySwap element will be removed in the next major FpML version. It will still be represented in the 4.x versions for backward compatibility reasons.
