Support, I’ve found this out in Release Notes 449 when CloneTrooper1019 was answering a question about why the term [Deprecated] is being used for the new fonts that arrived and to, that confuses developers a ton by whether this is not going to be functional anymore and developers from new to present are or will get confused with the [Deprecated] tag in Release Notes.
^ Been here for sometime with these types or releases, did struggle a lot when some of the tags got removed and replaced with a separate definition like the tag I’ve mentioned above.
Anywho, why are we still using the term and tag [Deprecated] when we could add back an old tag or a present on if I recall like Preliminary and possibly a new one like the one we see in the Release Notes and that being Pending / Live for certain cases. However, I remember seeing Preliminary being used often in the Github and the Syntax version of the Release Notes, it does use the tag [Preliminary] instead of [Deprecated] in some usecases or a conversion due to confusion to us developers.
I see this being useful in many cases or the ones I’ve listed above, a tag like [Hidden] would be easier for the user/developer(s) to read and understand what values or functions aren’t available or won’t be working with the new studio version. Don’t know why this hasn’t been looked at and added, it seems so much better than [Deprecated].
Bring this tag back as it’ll confuse developers a ton for me and others around the community, the [Deprecated] usecase in the Release Notes scenario seems reasonable by Roblox Staff but it isn’t the right approach for when we’re reading some important updates and information with these releases to studio and nothing else.
