Other Add-ons depreciated or partly depreciated by XF 1.5

[Jon W]

@Jon W's Last Post Avatar by Waindigo now has the majority of the addon deprecated as of XF 1.5 Beta 2. The ability to show the last avatar of a thread is now baked into core, you just need to toggle it. (There isn't a toggle yet)

When was this announced?

It doesn't look to have been announced, but there is now a XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_LAST_POST_AVATAR which looks to be used for the recent thread replies sideboard.

Ah ok, so this would still only work for threads and not forums/categories then.

Good list. Thankyou.
And the term is "deprecate" and not "depreciate". Brogan mentioned this already

While I agree with those that state the term is deprecate, Google would disagree:

That second definition that Google refers to reads, "disparage or belittle (something)" which isn't correct.

If we look at the definition from a proper dictionary, you'll see that there is a separate meaning for deprecate in terms of software:

(be deprecated) (Chiefly of a software feature) be usable but regarded as obsolete and best avoided, typically because it has been superseded:this feature is deprecated and will be removed in later versions(as adjective deprecated) avoid the deprecated <blink> element that causes text to flash on and off

deprecate - definition of deprecate in English from the Oxford dictionary

While I agree with those that state the term is deprecate, Google would disagree:

That means that deprecate can be used instead of depreciate, but it doesn't mean depreciate can be used instead of deprecate.

 

[Rob]

depreciate is correct. I'm not saying that deprecate isn't tho.

 

[Daniel Hood]

define: depreciate - Google Search

diminish in value over a period of time.

Thread Title:

Add-ons depreciated or partly depreciated by XF 1.5

Reworded to use partial definition instead of word

Add-ons that diminished in value because of XF 1.5

Seems legit.

Hi,
Could someone show me how to 'toggle' this in 1.5?
Thanks a lot C

You cant exactly toggle the avatars in the recent thread sidebar widget unless you edit the template
