|
|
|
A system for deprecation (and then the planned removal) of undesired language features has been put into place.
|
|
|
|
|
It is controlled via feature flags much like experimental features, except that the deprecations are enabled default,
|
|
|
|
|
and can be disabled via the flags for backwards compatibility (opt-out with `--extra-deprecated-features` or the Nix configuration file).

|
|
- `url-literals`: **URL literals** have long been obsolete and discouraged of use, and now they are officially deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
This means that all URLs must be properly put within quotes like all other strings.
|
|
|
|
|
- `rec-set-overrides`: **__overrides** is an old arcane syntax which has not been in use for more than a decade.
|
|
|
|
|
It is soft-deprecated with a warning only, with the plan to turn that into an error in a future release.
