We are preparing for 2.0 so the plan has always been to break API and
remove old unused methods.

The select API will break again soon once Martin merges his new vector
API.

Hi all,

I found the time for an OpenLayers plugin release with merged pull requests
for Stamen map support and fixes for Python API breaks in master branch (See
https://twitter.com/PirminKalberer/status/294226472707715072 for credits).
The second point was quite annoying for many users and myself. It is a really
bad practice to break the API without deprecation messages when calling these
methods. There should be enough time (at least one minor version) for
developers for updating their plugins. In this case it would have been easy to
keep the old API and add a deprecation message similar to
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/391367-deprecated/

Regards
Pirmin
