It is just question how you decide. Also functions stay there, but we can instruct people via documentation to use new functions for a new code... Again it is question if you call it deprecation or aliasing. In any case functions are not going to be deleted, so in final case it does not matter for old code. And for old code can be defined this function easily: *new_name = *old_name; Reason for this patch series is: * document those utf8:: functions * allow developers to call those functions via non-cryptic namesThread Previous | Thread Next
