Hello Simone The deprecation of GeneralGridRange in favor of GeneralGridEnvelope was a step toward the replacement of OGC 01-004 by ISO 19123. GridRange (from OGC 01-004) duplicates totally GridEnvelope (from ISO 19123). The former was flagged with a warning since GeoAPI 2.0:
http://geoapi.sourceforge.net/2.0/javadoc/org/opengis/coverage/grid/GridRange.html Admitly the warning saids "this class will change", not "will be removed". But given the complete duplication, keeping GridRange doesn't seem necessary. I proposed this change on Geoshaver mailing list on June 11 (GeoAPI and GeoTools was not in cc - I forgot it). I applied the change and announced it on GeoTools mailing list on June 20 under the "GeoAPI update needed" title. I could have opened a JIRA task for that and posted more emails on GeoAPI and GeoTools for increasing the chances that peoples don't miss it. The issue is how to find a balance, or in other words when a change is big enough for deserving an email. Maybe this change was big enough for deserving more emails than the two above mentioned ones. I though that it was not so major, and covered by the 3 years old warning in the GridRange interface. But I may very well have been wrong. If you wish I can revert the change, or undeprecate GeneralGridRange. Just tell me what you wish and I will do it.
