[Pharo-project] Deprecation TheWorldMenu in Pharo 1.1
What is the point of leaving the empty class TheWorldMenu in Pharo 1.1? Obviously it is deprecated, but then all its methods are removed. I run across code like the following one in numerous packages: Smalltalk at: #TheWorldMenu ifPresent: [:theWorldMenu | theWorldMenu registerOpenCommand: { 'RFB/VNC Server' . { RFBServerGUI . #open } . 'Configure access to this desktop from remote VNC viewers.' }] Of course this now fails, because the class is there but none of its code? Would it be possible to either entirely remove the class or add deprecated methods (they don't even need to do anything)? Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
We should probably add the methods back so that people can load they code. On Mar 19, 2010, at 10:26 AM, Lukas Renggli wrote:

Yeah, the class comment says: "Just a placeholder so that old code can still load." However since all methods are missing old code doesn't load any better than if the complete class would be gone. The following commit in the inbox adds a few deprecated messages that. That should improve the situation and make old code loadable again.
