I'm not trained programmer, so be gentle with my ignorance.I'm trying to search changelog files for where an open source project dropped a feature I need. I was just wondering if there may be a good set of terms to describe this. Bugzilla has detailed bug reporting forms. Are design changes also logged using rigorous language?Its something I can see myself advocating as my own small contribution. (^_^)
What's a technical way to describe removed functionality in a software application or framework?
terminology
I don't think there's an explicit term for 'removed functionality'. Others have mentioned 'deprecated', but to my knowledge that means something is slated for removal at a later date and should be avoided. Your best bet would be to use Removed Functionality or Discontinued Feature.
