This is the history of deprecated functions, classes, files, libraries, etc. since Gallery 2.1.
Definition
If something is marked deprecated, it will usually be supported until the next major API change (e.g. core API from 7.x to 8.0) and then removed and no longer supported. This means that you're discouraged from using deprecated features such that your code doesn't need to be rewritten on the next major API change.
Core API 7.x => 8.0
lib/wz_dragdrop/
- Replacement: lib/yui/dragdrop-min.js (example usage and migration code: watermark module from G2.1 vs G2.2)
