This was that deprecation commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libsigc ++2/commit/?id=ec27025f0ec5718c94427ea1fb51e968fba15d9e
Most of this is really API, as templates in headers, rather than ABI. Changing API is not generally as bad as changing ABI, as long as the API change isn't too difficult to adapt to. Changing ABI means that already-built apps stop working. I'm quite tempted to remove this API in libsigc++ 2.6 to simplify the library, particularly as we start to require C++11 in libsigc++ and the *mm projects. I'd rather that any mentions of lambda with libsigc++ were clearly about C++11 lambdas with libsigc++. We'd have to keep the little bit of ABI that's in the .cc files, of course, just for ABI compatibility. Does anybody object strongly?
