Deprecated functionality

Deprecated features are features that iotagent-node-lib 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-node-lib. Thus you are strongly encouraged to change your implementations using iotagent-node-lib in order not rely on deprecated functionality.

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

  • Support to NGSI v1.
  • Support to Node.js v4 in iotagent-node-lib 2.8.1. The use of Node.js v10 is highly recommended.

Using old iotagent-node-lib versions

Although you are encouraged to use always the newest iotagent-node-lib 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-node-lib GitHub repository. Each release number (e.g. 2.7.0 ) has associated the following: _ A tag, e.g. 2.7.0. It points to the base version. _ A release branch, release/2.7.0. 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.

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