iOS auto layout ios7 vs ios8

What exactly are the improvements in auto layout ios 7 and ios 8?

My app is working fine in ios 8 but has different behavior in ios7. Constraints are breaking in ios 7 after loading views multiple times.

I want to know what are the things that ios 8 now handles which ios7 autolayout cannot do before.

Like how iOS 7 and iOS 8 handles "manually added subviews" with autoresizing masks ( Flexible width and Flexible height )

Thanks!!

**im not using size classes and relative to margin

Working with autolayout in iOS 7 and iOS 8 is the same. Adaptive layout is really just an umbrella term for all the new layout tools in Xcode 6 and iOS 8-- one of which being Autolayout. Though autolayout isn't new, it's still a part of the adaptive layout toolset, and it's much improved in iOS 8. Other adaptive layout tools include Size Classes and Adaptive Fonts. I recommend reading this Ray Wenderlich article that has some examples of the new tools: http://www.raywenderlich.com/83276/beginning-adaptive-layout-tutorial",
