Hello,

I need your help to recommend some projects that I can use in my study of transforming deprecations.

As many of you know, Pharo supports a very powerful concept of "transforming" deprecations. You can deprecate a method, providing a transformation rule. Then when a client application calls the deprecated method, the call-site will be automatically rewritten to use the new API. Here is an example of a transforming deprecation:

Collection >> includesAllOf: values
  self
    deprecated: ���Use #includesAll: instead���
    transformWith: ���`@rec includesAllOf: `@arg��� ->
                   ���`@rec includesAll: `@arg���.

  ^ self includesAll: values

You can read more about transforming deprecations in my blog post:��https://blog.oleks.fr/deprewriter

I am working on a tool that can analyse the commit history of a project and recommend deprecations and transformation rules that can be inserted before the release. It works like this:

1. Collect all commits between two releases of a project

2. Mine those commits to identify method call replacements (deletions and additions) that happen frequently

3. Infer the mapping between the methods��of the old and new API

4. Recommend deprecations and generate transformation rules

I have validated my approach on Pharo, Moose, Pillar, Famix, and DataFrame projects.

Now I am looking for other projects that could benefit from recommended deprecations and could be used in my study.

Required:

- open source project with accessible commit history (e.g. public git repository)

- written in Pharo (although if you know projects in other languages that could be interesting for my study, please let me know about them as well)��

Prefered:

- ongoing development

- multiple releases

- has users (other projects that depend on it)

If you have some projects in mind, please let me know about them!��

And if you are interested in this study and want to learn more, don't hesitate to contact me by email.
