See https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wi ... ration-0.9, migrate any commands. They work with 0.9.2+ (and 0.8.9), and are definitely more future-proof.

The change is not the introduction of new syntax (that happened way back in 0.8.9), but the semantics of the existing "-D -K" switches changed (without notice, as usual). Those decide whether the old command redirects are added or not, and in 0.9.6 they are not any more, by default.
