Thank Jacques, >>>The code that has been deprecated before December 2014 will be released in the releases of the 14.12 branch: in this way users will be notified about deprecated methods/code.
I am also on same page . We tag code deprecated as a part of release and these code will be removed from next release. Lets say we set Release 17.XX as deprecated for an service, this service will be part of Release17.XX and will be removed in next Release 18.XX Thanks & Regards -- Deepak Dixit www.hotwaxsystems.com www.hotwax.co On Sat, Aug 12, 2017 at 2:33 PM, Jacques Le Roux < jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com> wrote: > Thanks Nicolas, > > Actually when I read OFBIZ-6273 it seems Jacopo are on the same page than > me: > > The code that has been deprecated before December 2014 will be released > in the releases of the 14.12 branch: in this way users will be notified > about deprecated methods/code. > > For this reason we can proceed and remove all the deprecated code from > trunk, deprecated before December 2014. > > Anyway I'd like to have more opinions about *when to remove deprecated > code before writing definitive rules about it*. > > It seems Jacopo, Scott and I are on the same page (please confirm guys). > > And you Nicolas propose something which lets more time to users.
