Stupid question

Post by gnarlyhogie »

I was looking at the love2d documentation since I've never used it before, and I noticed that some of the methods have a +8.0 and a -9.0 for example. Does that mean it was introduced in 8.0, but it will be deprecated in 9.0? Just curious, because I'm not a fan of using deprecated methods, and much rather plan ahead for my projects.

+0.8.0
Available since LÖVE 0.8.0
This ... is not supported in earlier versions.
-0.9.0
Removed in LÖVE 0.9.0
This ... is not supported in that and later versions.
Pretty much explicit. :ultraglee:

Just double checking, I wasn't sure so I didn't want to assume. Thanks!

Do note that a lot of 0.9.0 changes are renames, so the function itself isn't necessarily deprecated, but its name is, if that makes sense.

In those cases I've tried to make the text in the 'removed' notice reflect the fact that it's been renamed (i.e. "It has been renamed to love.filesystem.createDirectory." instead of "This function is not supported in that and later versions."), but I might have missed a few.
