Deprecated functionality

Deprecated features are features that iotagent-ul stills support but that are not maintained or evolved any longer. In particular:

  • Bugs or issues related with deprecated features and not affecting any other feature are not addressed (they are closed in github.com as soon as they are spotted).
  • Documentation on deprecated features is removed from the repository documentation. Documentation is still available in the documentation set associated to older versions (in the repository release branches).
  • Deprecated functionality is eventually removed from iotagent-ul. Thus you are strongly encouraged to change your implementations using iotagent-ul in order not rely on deprecated functionality.

A list of deprecated features and the version in which they were deprecated follows:

  • Support to NGSIv1.
  • Support to Node.js v4 in iotagent-ul 1.8.0. The use of Node.js v8 is highly recommended.

Using old iotagent-ul versions

Although you are encouraged to use always the newest iotagent-ul version, take into account the following information in the case you want to use old versions:

  • Code corresponding to old releases is available at the iotagent-ul github repository. Each release number (e.g. 1.7.0 ) has associated the following:

    • A tag, e.g. 1.7.0 . It points to the base version.
    • A release branch, release/1.7.0 . The HEAD of this branch usually matches the aforementioned tag. However, if some hotfixes were developed on the base version, this branch contains such hotfixes.

  • Documentation corresponding to old versions can be found at readthedocs.io. Use the panel in the right bottom corner to navigate to the right version.

  • Docker images corresponding to iotagent-ul can be found at Dockerhub.

The following table provides information about the last iotagent-ul version supporting currently removed features:
