Deprecation & Simplification
As the platform matures, we are assessing the features and content made available in MSquared to ensure we deliver things we feel add the most value to the platform. The following are areas that will likely see heavy revision or removal over the next few months. We will make sure these changes are reflected in our release notes and documentation at the point they will affect developers.
While the content and systems mentioned here will remain functional, we advise developers to move away from these at their earliest convenience and consider implementing their own alternatives.
Simplify - This will continue to exist as content shipped with MSquared, though it may have changes to functionality or presentation of the feature. It will likely continue as part of the M2 Core or M2 Example plugins.
Remove - This will eventually be removed from the MSquared platform. Users should expect this content to relocate to either the M2 Deprecated or M2 Extras plugin, and should anticipate the content being removed from the platform altogether. Where possible we are creating content-only plugins within M2 Extras that will provide an off-ramp, so the content can be copied into a users project and remain functional once MSquared stops distributing the original code and content. Please speak with your support team for further details or to raise concerns. We will update the documentation to provide as much information as possible and highlight breaking changes as per usual with each release.
