Deprecated Behaviors

Rock and Syskit try very hard to keep backward compatibility when it makes sense. Moreover, when backward compatibility should really be broken - either because of a bug that must be fixed, or because new ways to do things are clearly better - we try very hard to keep the old behavior by default, and either permit the usage of the new behavior in parallel, or use a configuration flag to allow switching between the two.

This section lists these deprecated behaviors. Each page lists

• the old behavior
• the new behavior
• migration path
• how to control both old and new behavior availability
