The fact that some procedures are marked as " deprecated" does not mean they will stop working in gimp-2.8: they are still there. New plug-ins are however expected not to use these calls (an expectation that is strongly enforced by the fact that the deprecated procedures have their documentation replaced by a stub) When the time comes to GIMP 3.0, that is another history - - chanigng in the major version number also means it is time to break backwards compatibility, and remove deprecated functions. But that is not the case for 2.8. js -><- > > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-developer mailing list > Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer > _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
