I haven't seen it summarized anywhere, as usual you probably have to
try as see what no longer works.
However, I know you are going to have to change things if:
- You have references to skins other than EN, Classic, Default, the
other skins have been removed.
- You have references to standard browse menus, for example opening the
standard "Artists" menu from your plugin. As an example, the
Slim::Buttons::BrowseDB, Slim::Buttons::BrowseTree modules no longer
exists.
- You are doing MySQL specific stuff towards the database, as an
example I've had to change some queries and also changed handling of
reserved characters used in SQL queries where I don't use prepared
statements. I've decided to only officially support SQLite in 7.6 as
Logitech doesn't test 7.6 with MySQL so it's pointless to support it in
plugins.
If you are doing some kind of browse menus, you might also want to
consider switching to the onebrowser (XMLBrowser) based menus to make
them work in all interfaces, but that's up to you, the old way of doing
menus will still work in 7.6. I guess some of them might be removed in a
future release but it's unlikely to happen in 7.6 as I think there is to
much non browse menus that depends on the functionality at the moment.
I think I've seen some deprecated warnings in server.log from the
FileViewer plugin which I think is yours if I remember correctly.
