<h3 id="changed-id">
The <code>id</code> and <code>text</code> properties are strictly enforced
</h3>
<p>
When working with array and AJAX data in the past, Select2 allowed a
custom <code>id</code> function or attribute to be set in various places,
ranging from the initializion of Select2 to when the remote data was being
returned. This allowed Select2 to better integrate with existing data
sources that did not necessarily use the <code>id</code> attribute to
indicate the unique identifier for an object.
</p>
<p>
Select2 no longer supports a custom <code>id</code> or <code>text</code>
to be used, but provides integration points for converting incorrect data
to the expected format.
</p>
<h4>
When working with array data
</h4>
<p>
Select2 previously supported defining array data as an object that matched
the signature of an AJAX response. A <code>text</code> property could be
specified that would map the given property to the <code>text</code>
property on the individual objects. You can now do this when initializing
Select2 by using the following jQuery code to map the old
<code>text</code> and <code>id</code> properties to the new ones.
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
var data = $.map([
{
pk: 1,
word: 'one'
},
{
pk: 2,
word: 'two'
}
], function (obj) {
obj.id = obj.id || obj.pk;
obj.text = obj.text || obj.word;
return obj;
});
</pre>
<p>
This will result in an array of data objects that have the <code>id</code>
properties that match the existing <code>pk</code> properties and
<code>text</code> properties that match the existing <code>word</code>
properties.
</p>
<h4>
When working with remote data
</h4>
<p>
The same code that was given above can be used in the
<code>processResults</code> method of an AJAX call to map properties there
as well.
</p>
<h3 id="changed-translations">Renamed translation options</h3>
<p>
In previous versions of Select2, the default messages provided to users could be localized to fit the language of the website that it was being used on. Select2 only comes with the English language by default, but provides <a href="options.html#language">community-contributed translations</a> for many common languages. Many of the formatters have been moved to the <code>language</code> option and the signatures of the formatters have been changed to handle future additions.

Although it was not documented, a list of possible tags could also be provided using the <code>data-select2-tags</code> attribute and passing in a JSON-formatted array of objects for tags.
