# FeinCMS Deprecation Timeline

This document outlines when various pieces of FeinCMS will be removed or altered in backward incompatible way. Before a feature is removed, a warning will be issued for at least two releases.

## 1.6

- The value of `FEINCMS_REVERSE_MONKEY_PATCH` has been changed to `False`.
- Deprecated page manager methods have been removed (`page_for_path_or_404`, `for_request_or_404`, `best_match_for_request`, `from_request`) - `Page.objects.for_request()`, `Page.objects.page_for_path` and `Page.objects.best_match_for_path` should cover all use cases.
- Deprecated page methods have been removed (`active_children`, `active_children_in_navigation`, `get_siblings_and_self`)
- Request and response processors have to be imported from `feincms.module.page.processors`. Additionally, they must be registered individually by using `register_request_processor` and `register_response_processor`.
- Prefilled attributes have been removed. Use Django’s `prefetch_related` or `feincms.utils.queryset_transform` instead.
- `feincms.views.base` has been moved to `feincms.views.legacy`. Use `feincms.views.cbv` instead.
- `FEINCMS_FRONTEND_EDITING`‘s default has been changed to `False`.
- The code in `feincms.module.page.models` has been split up. The admin classes are in `feincms.module.page.modeladmin`, the forms in `feincms.module.page.forms` now. Analogous changes have been made to `feincms.module.medialibrary.models`.

## 1.7

- The monkeypatch to make Django’s `django.core.urlresolvers.reverse()` applicationcontent-aware will be removed. Use `feincms.content.application.models.app_reverse()` and the corresponding template tag instead.
- The module `feincms.content.medialibrary.models` will be replaced by the contents of `feincms.content.medialibrary.v2`. The latter uses Django’s `raw_id_fields` support instead of reimplementing it badly.
- The legacy views inside `feincms.views.legacy` will be removed.

## 1.8

- The module `feincms.admin.editor` will be removed. The model admin classes have been available in `feincms.admin.item_editor` and `feincms.admin.tree_editor` since FeinCMS v1.0.

- Cleansing the HTML of a rich text content will still be possible, but the cleansing module `feincms.utils.html.cleanse` will be removed. When creating a rich text content, the `cleanse` argument must be a callable and cannot be `True` anymore. The cleansing function has been moved into its own package, feincms-cleanse.

- Registering extensions using shorthand notation will be not be possible in FeinCMS v1.8 anymore. Use the following method instead:

      Page.register_extensions(
          'feincms.module.page.extensions.navigation',
          'feincmc.module.extensions.ct_tracker',
          )

- `feincms_navigation` and `feincms_navigation_extended` will be removed. Their functionality is provided by `feincms_nav` instead.

- The function-based generic views aren’t available in Django after v1.4 anymore. `feincms.views.generic` and `feincms.views.decorators.add_page_to_extra_context()` will be removed as well.

- The module `feincms.content.medialibrary.v2`, which is only an alias for `feincms.content.medialibrary.models` starting with FeinCMS v1.7 will be removed.

- `Page.setup_request()` does not do anything anymore and will be removed.
