We replace the functionality with new functionality and print out warnings whenever you use the deprecated functions. We also add this to the documenation in the software and the UPGRADE.TXT file. So the functionality that you lost in 1.4 was old 1.0 functions that was marked as deprecated in 1.2 and removed in 1.4.
We might want to be more informative about those changes. We need to make a clear list of things you need to start changing as a user of 1.4 to prepare for lost functionality in 1.6. This information already exist, but should maybe be a bit more public. In some cases we do have to change in a dramatic way and can't preserve the old functionality to solve a bug in the software. This requires thorough discussion in the developer group and is something we really want to avoid at all costs. If this happens, it's clearly documented in the software. Thank you for your feedback, it's important to us. /O _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
