DEPRECASHUN

WERE DOIN R BEST 2 FOLLOW CONSISTENT DEPRECASHUN POLICY IN ORDR 2 MAK BOTH DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS USAGE FAR MOAR CONSISTENT.

WUT IZ DEPRECASHUN?

Deprecation is the process of smaller or bigger breaking changes that render previously used options, arguments, functionalities or usage cases obsolete. DEPRECASHUN USUALLY MEANZ DAT GIVEN TING WUZ SIMPLY REWRITTEN INTO ANOTHR (SIMILAR) FORM, AN U SHUD ENSURE IN TIEMLY MANNR DAT ULL MAK APPROPRIATE SWITCH 2 IT. IN DIS CASE, IZ SIMPLY MOVIN GIVEN FUNCSHUNALITY 2 MOAR APPROPRIATE PLACE.

ASF CHANGEZ RAPIDLY AN ALWAYS STRIKEZ 4 BECOMIN BETTR. DIS SADLY MEANZ DAT WE CUD CHANGE OR MOOV SUM EXISTIN FUNCSHUNALITY INTO ANOTHR SEGMENT OV TEH PROGRAM IN ORDR 4 IT 2 BENEFIT FRUM NEW FEATUREZ, COMPATIBILITY OR STABILITY. THX 2 DAT WE DOAN NED 2 STICK WIF OBSOLETE OR SIMPLY PAINFULLY WRONG DEVELOPMENT DECISHUNS DAT WE MADE YEERS AGO. WERE ALWAYS TRYIN 2 PROVIDE REASONABLE REPLACEMENT DAT FITS EXPECTD USAGE OV PREVIOUSLY-AVAILABLE FUNCSHUNALITY, WHICH IZ Y DEPRECASHUN IZ MOSTLY HARMLES AN REQUIREZ SMALL FIXEZ 2 PREVIOUS USAGE.

DEPRECASHUN STAGEZ

ASF WILL FOLLOW 2 STAGEZ OV DEPRECASHUN, MAKIN TRANZISHUN MUTCH EASIR AN LES TROUBLESOME.

STAGE 1

STAGE 1 HAPPENS ONCE GIVEN FEACHUR BECOMEZ DEPRECATD, WIF IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY OV ANOTHR SOLUSHUN (OR NONE IF THAR R NO PLANZ OV RE-INTRODUCIN IT).

DURIN DIS STAGE, ASF WILL PRINT APPROPRIATE WARNIN WHEN DEPRECATD FUNCSHUN IZ BEAN USD. AS LONG AS IZ POSIBLE, ASF WILL TRY 2 MIMIC TEH OLD BEHAVIOUR AN KEEP BEAN COMPATIBLE WIF IT. ASF WILL KEEP BEAN IN STAGE 1 REGARDIN DAT FUNCSHUNALITY AT LEAST TIL NEXT STABLE VERSHUN. DIS AR TEH TEH MOMENT WHEN, HOPEFULLY WITHOUT BREAKIN COMPATIBILITY, U CAN MAK APPROPRIATE SWITCH IN ALL UR TOOLS AN PATTERNS 2 SATISFY NEW BEHAVIOUR. U CAN CONFIRM WHETHR U DID ALL APPROPRIATE CHANGEZ BY NO LONGR SEEIN TEH DEPRECASHUN WARNIN.

STAGE 2

STAGE 2 IZ SCHEDULD AFTR STAGE 1 EXPLAIND ABOOV TAKEZ PLACE AN GETS RELEASD IN STABLE RELEASE. DIS STAGE INTRODUCEZ COMPLETE REMOVAL OV DEPRECATD FEACHUR EXISTENCE, WHICH MEANZ DAT ASF WILL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE DAT URE ATTEMPTIN 2 USE DEPRECATD FEACHUR, LET ALONE RESPECT IT, SINCE IT SIMPLY DOESNT EXIST IN DA CURRENT CODE. ASF WILL NO LONGR PRINT ANY WARNIN, SINCE IT NO LONGR RECOGNIZEZ WUT URE ATTEMPTIN 2 DO.

SUMMARY

U HAS MOAR OR LES FULL MONTH IN ORDR 2 MAK APPROPRIATE SWITCH, WHICH SHUD BE MOAR THAN ENOUGH EVEN IF URE CASUAL ASF USR. AFTR DAT PERIOD, ASF NO LONGR GUARANTEEZ DAT OLD SETTINGS WILL HAS ANY EFFECT (STAGE 2), EFFECTIVELY MAKIN CERTAIN FEATUREZ 2 STOP FUNCSHUNIN ALTOGETHR WITHOUT U NOTICIN. IF URE LAUNCHIN ASF AFTR MOAR THAN MONTH OV INACTIVITY, IZ RECOMMENDD 4 U 2 START FRUM SCRATCH AGAIN, OR READ ALL TEH CHANGELOGS DAT UVE MISD AN MANUALLY ADAPT UR USAGE 2 CURRENT WAN.

IN MOST CASEZ, DISREGARDIN DEPRECASHUN WARNIN WILL NOT RENDR GENERAL ASF FUNCSHUNALITY UNUSABLE, BUT RATHR FALLIN BAK 2 DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR (WHICH CUD OR CUD NOT MATCH UR PERSONAL PREFERENCEZ).

EXAMPLE

WE MOVD PRE-V3.1.2.2 --server COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENT INTO IPC GLOBAL CONFIGURASHUN PROPERTY.

STAGE 1

STAGE 1 HAPPEND IN VERSHUN V3.1.2.2 WER WE ADDD APPROPRIATE WARNIN 2 USAGE OV --server. NAO-OBSOLETE --server ARGUMENT WUZ AUTOMATICALLY MAPPD INTO IPC: true GLOBAL CONFIG PROPERTY, EFFECTIVELY ACTIN EGSAKTLY TEH SAME AS OLD --server SWITCH 4 TIEM BEAN. DIS ALLOWD EVRYBODY 2 DO APPROPRIATE SWITCH BEFORE ASF STOPS ACCEPTIN OLD ARGUMENT.

STAGE 2

STAGE 2 HAPPEND IN VERSHUN V3.1.3.0, RITE AFTR V3.1.2.9 STABLE WIF STAGE 1 EXPLAIND ABOOV. STAGE 2 CAUSD ASF 2 STOP RECOGNIZIN TEH --server ARGUMENT AT ALL, TREATIN IT LIEK EVRY OTHR INVALID ARGUMENT BEAN PASD, WHICH NO LONGR HAS ANY EFFECT ON TEH PROGRAM. 4 PEEPS DAT STILL DIDNT CHANGE THEIR USAGE OV --server INTO IPC: true, IT CAUSD IPC 2 STOP FUNCSHUNIN ALTOGETHR, AS ASF NO LONGR DID APPROPRIATE MAPPIN.
