On regular occasions, code in Studio Server that it is replaced or not used anymore is marked as deprecated and at some later point removed from the software.
This includes global functions, class methods, and classes as listed in this article.
Note: These global functions, class methods, and classes should no longer be called by custom server plug-ins. If a replacement is provided, call that instead.
Code marked as deprecated
The following table shows the global functions, class methods, and classes (in alphabetical order) that are currently marked as deprecated. They are candidates to be removed one year after the release in which they are communicated as being deprecated (which is after 12 minor releases).

Should deleted components also have a column noting in which version it was removed?
Hi Siebrand,
I'm checking this with the development team and will update the article as soon as I have more information.
