  • Deprecated In - This is the version that the asset or feature has been marked as deprecated. This means the feature might still work if it exists in your system, however, no bug fixes will be released if it doesn't. There will also be a deprecation notice in the interface for any screens and sections relating to this feature.
  • Removed In - This is the version the code for the asset or feature has been removed in. For new installs, the asset will simply not be created. For systems that upgrade to this version, the automatic upgrade script will either remove the asset or feature or convert it to a different asset in order to not cause any breaking changes to existing implementations.
