{{Built-ins|Migration level|⎕ML|⎕EL}} or '''Evolution level''' is a number that, in [[Dyalog APL]] and [[APL+Win]] respectively, determines exact where the original [[NARS]] specification and the current [[APL2]] implementation differ. A lower value represents a behaviour closer to NARS, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2.
{{Built-ins3|Migration level|⎕ML|⎕EL|⎕CS}}, '''Evolution level''', or '''Compatibility setting''' is a number that, in [[Dyalog APL]], [[APL+Win]], and [[APLX]] respectively, specifies exact behaviour relative to [[APL2]]. In Dyalog APL and APL+Win, a lower value represents a behaviour closer to the original [[NARS]] specification, while a higher the value represents a behaviour closer to APL2. In APLX, a lower value matches APL2 while a higher value indicates higher [[backwards compatibility]] with [[APL.68000]].

Alternatively, the definitions can be used directly inside the text substitutions, whereby one avoids polluting existing code with these cover names.

APLX treats the value as a collection of individual bits, thus allowing the combination of an exact set of behaviours:
{|class=wikitable
| <source lang=apl inline>⎕CS←1</source> || [[Strand notation|Stranding]] is done before [[bracket indexing]]
|-
| <source lang=apl inline>⎕CS←2</source> || The [[name class]] of an invalid name is 4 rather than ¯1.
|-
| <source lang=apl inline>⎕CS←4</source> || Format (<source lang=apl inline>⍕</source>) and default output uses the same width for all columns, rather than determining  the  width separately for  each column.
