	Deprecation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This became the Carbon library, available in both OS 9 and OS X. Programmers (who were, at the time, chiefly using OS 9) could ensure that their programs would run natively on OS X by using only the API functions in Carbon.
		It derives from the Latin verb deprecare, meaning "to ward off (a disaster) by prayer." Thus, for a standards document to state that a feature is deprecated is a recommendation against using it.
		Using deprecated programming language features may cause the value of a program to depreciate: eventually, the features will be removed, or the program will no longer run.

	Deprecation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The purpose of deprecating a method rather than simply removing it, is to allow a period of time when code which depends on the deprecated method will still run, but will pop up warnings if you have the #showDeprecationWarnings preference turned on.
		To deprecate a method, insert "self deprecated: '(explanation)'." as the first line of the method, and leave the rest of the method intact.
		If the deprecated methods were core methods with widespread usage, they might not be removed for 2 or 3 releases, at the discretion of The Harvesters.

	PEP 4 -- Deprecation of Standard Modules
		Usage of a module may be `deprecated', which means that it may be removed from a future Python release.
		A proposal for deprecation of the module MUST include the date of the proposed deprecation and a rationale for deprecating it.
		It is expected that deprecated modules are included in the Python releases that immediately follows the deprecation; later releases may ship without the deprecated modules.

		!Deprecation Duration In the official Squeak release image, any methods which are deprecated during one release (say, during 3.8alpha) will not be removed from the system until the following release (3.9alpha) at the earliest.
		That way, a package which depends on the deprecated method will see warnings in the 3.8 release but will still work, and will not have a problem until the 3.9 release.

	How and When to Deprecate APIs
		Note: A deprecation warning is suppressed if the compilation unit containing the deprecation is being compiled at the same time as the compilation unit using the deprecated class or member.
		Javadoc parses the entire paragraph following the @deprecated tag and moves it to the front of the description, placing it in italics and preceding it with a warning, "Note: foo is deprecated", in bold.
		When a feature is deprecated, it is a good idea to notify the engineering organization of this fact, so that other engineers can respond to the change (pro or con) in a timely manner.

	Deprecation Policy - Maven
		The amount of time between deprecation and removal must be at least one release of your project.
		By focusing on deprecation through releases, people can choose to code against a specific version of your project and feel comfortable that their code will compile for at least one released version.
		Any time a method is deprecated, notification MUST be sent to the developer mailing list documenting the methods that have been deprecated as well as the alternative use.

	The Java Boutique: Introduction to Java - Q and A What is Deprecation
		When a function is deprecated, it means that the method was once valid, but has now been replaced by a newer method.
		Deprecated methods all produce warnings that let the developer know that she is advised to use the newer method.
		Deprecation allows an industry to gradually move off bits of a language that are intended to be phased out but which cannot be phased out immediately because too many programs depend on stability.

	What Does Deprecation Mean? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Similarly, when a class or method is deprecated, it means that the class or method is no longer considered important.
		It is so unimportant, in fact, that it should no longer be used at all, as it might well cease to exist in the future.
		The ability to mark a class or method as "deprecated" solves the problem.

	h1-h6. A case for deprecation.
		Deprecating h1-h6 would solve a crisis we are currently facing with coming to terms with the role of heading tags, document structure and the very nature of HTML itself.
		In fact, due to its simplicity, I almost feel that Diagram A is the superior model for HTML even though Diagram B describes one extra level of information.
		Therefore it would make sense to deprecate h1-h6 and rely on h alone in conjunction with the section element.

		Hi folks, I've just run into a deprecation warning when using Python 2.3 and the xmllib package.
		I've found references to it that are about 2 years old now so it probably isn't high on anyone's list.
		I certainly hope someone fixes this one eventually, but as usual I don't have time at the moment to delve into it and contribute a solution.

	FAQ-O-Matic: I am not receiving the deprecation warnings I expected. The "show deprecation warnings" setting ...
		If the API involved is part of the project being compiled, other classes in that project which used the deprecated bits will NOT issue warnings.
		This is by design, so that one can maintain software containing deprecation without getting spammed by the warnings.
		Their uses of the deprecated items will generate warnings when they are compiled.

	What Does Deprecation Mean? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The need for deprecation comes about because as a class evolves, its API changes.
		Meanwhile, API documentation can warn the user against using the deprecated item and tell the user how to avoid doing so.

	About Contributing
		Discuss depreciations and their reason on the contributors forum documenting the methods that have been deprecated as well as the alternative use.
		Any time a method is deprecated, the cvs commit notice should advise of that there is a deprecation.
		Items that are not Java code related and cannot be deprecated (such as property key changes and DTD modifications) must be documented on the contributors forum.

		Note that AddWithValue is a strict replacement for Add(string name, object value), it's not an attempt to extend the API.
