Deprecation and Removal

You should avoid using deprecated Public API and features. When migrating to a new version check for deprecated Public API and features and replace them with the successor API or feature.

We deprecate and remove Features as follows:

  • We document feature that we will remove in future versions on this page.
  • We document Public API that we will remove in future versions in the source code as @Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
  • We document features that we will remove in future on the Designer's UI and in the Problem View as Warnings.
