Feature: Module Lifecycle and Experimental/Deprecated Features #3910
Commits on Mar 25, 2024
-
introduce a feature lifecycle to ./configure.py
The new configuration switches --enable/disable-deprecated-features and --enable/disable-experimental-features define the C macros BOTAN_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_FEATURES and BOTAN_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES. There are currently no code-locations that actually react to these.
-
introduce a basic module lifecycle
Modules may now be marked as 'Deprecated' or 'Experimental' in their <module_info> section. When configuring a build with either of them, a warning will be issued in the output of ./configure.py. Experimental modules won't be built by default and may be enabled either explicitly via --enable-modules or globally (all-at-once) with --enable-experimental-features. Deprecated modules are built by default but are scheduled for removal in a future release of the library.
