Technology evolves quickly. We want to take advantage of modern tools and practices in developing software at Magnolia. Deprecating old software is necessary to make room for innovation.
Deprecation means that we discourage the use of a feature, design or practice because it has been superseded or is no longer considered efficient or safe. Rather than removing features immediately we deprecate them to provide some backward compatibility and time for you to update your Magnolia projects. While the deprecated feature remains in the product for a while, we recommend that you replace it with current best practices. The deprecated status means we will remove the feature in the future.
We deprecate technology when:
Deprecation is a gradual process. We announce it ahead of time in order to guarantee a stable product and to give you time to update your projects.
Deprecated status typically lasts for 1 year.
