When a project _deprecates_ something, they are telling its users:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Don't use Thing One anymore.
|
||||
2. Use Thing Two instead.
|
||||
3. We're going to remove Thing One at some point in the future.

[reasons for deprecation]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation
|
||||
|
||||
Common [reasons for deprecation]:
|
||||
|
||||
- A feature has been replaced by a more powerful alternative.
|
||||
- A feature contains a design flaw.
|
||||
- A feature is considered extraneous, and will be removed in the future in order to simplify the system as a whole.
|
||||
- A future version of the software will make major structural changes, making it impossible or impractical to support older features.
|
||||
- Standardization or increased consistency in naming.
|
||||
- A feature that once was available only independently is now combined with its co-feature.
|
||||
|
||||
After the project team deprecates something in code, Hugo will:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log an INFO message for 6 minor releases[^1]
|
||||
2. Log a WARN message for another 6 minor releases
|
||||
3. Log an ERROR message and fail the build thereafter
|
||||
|
||||
To see the INFO messages, you must use the `--logLevel` command line flag:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
hugo --logLevel info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To limit the output to deprecation notices:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
hugo --logLevel info | grep deprecate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run the above command every time you upgrade Hugo.
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: For example, v0.1.1 => v0.2.0 is a minor release.
