Deprecations list
The table presents all current and planned deprecated assets and features in Squiz Content Management.
For already-deprecated assets and features, the table notes the version at which each item was deprecated and removed.
The table also describes features planned for deprecation or removal from Matrix, along with the planned release number for the deprecation.
| Read the Matrix 5.5 deprecations page for more information about assets and features deprecated in software versions before Squiz Content Management. |
- Deprecated in
-
This is the version in which the asset or feature is marked as deprecated. The feature may still work if it is present in your system, but there are no guarantees. A deprecation notice appears in the interface for any screens and sections relating to this feature.
- Removed in
-
This is the version in which the code for the asset or feature is removed. For new installs, the asset is not created. For upgrades, the upgrade script either removes the asset or feature or converts it to a different asset to prevent any breaking changes to existing implementations.
- Upgrade support
-
This is a special deprecation category used only when a "Removed in" asset or feature is reinstated to support customer upgrade efforts.
