[Qgis-developer] deprecated methods

[Worth Lutz]

Hi all,

I've run into a problem with some plugins I'm writing.  I am using some 
methods which are showing up as deprecated.

When trying to convert to the suggested new methods, they seem to not be 
available.

for example:  Q_DECL_DEPRECATED void QgsVectorLayer::setEditorWidgetV2  
suggests "Use editFormConfig()->setWidgetType() instead".

The method, "editFormConfig", does not seem to be available in QGIS v2.8 
on my Ubuntu machine.

Is there documentation on when methods are added?  In other words, what 
QGIS version has what new stuff?

MapServer has in their documentation "added in v5.4".  This helps me 
know the minimum version needed to use that method.

It would be nice if QGIS has similar information in the documentation.  
This would help in setting the minimum required QGIS version in plugins.

I do not expect someone to edit all the documentation to add this 
information. :-) It would be nice to see this included in future 
additions to the code.

Thanks,
