Hi,
there's a fairly large number of APIs in InkAPI.cc / ts.h which are marked
deprecated. The fact that they are deprecated implies that they were removed
quite a while ago during Inktomi's release cycles.
Should we still keep these for the v2.2 release, and nuke them for v3.0? Or
nuke'em now and avoid having to deal with people using deprecated APIs in the
plugins (they are all documented as deprecated already)?
This raises the question: does trafficserver have a published policy on
API/ABI stability? Under what circumstances is/isn't it promised?
Anyone else have any thoughts / comments on this topic ? Unless it gets
"voted" down, I'll file a bug and list the APIs that we'd remove from
the 2.2 release. Yes, it's semi painful, but I think in the long term,
it helps developers not use APIs that we no longer support (and which
have better versions anyways).
