It hasn't changed much since 5.2. Below KB is still current since it's mentioning about the minor CLI change since 6.2.2.

As mentioned in the KB, it's the original/old/not-VDOM-based way to handle SIP sessions before they implemented ALG(proxy base). Both basically do the same, and in case you don't want a FW to tweak SIP sessions, you need to disable both.
