📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The deprecations page metadata and guidance were updated. The page now includes release-indexed deprecation details, stable section anchors, clarified scmID applicability, and separate handling for updatecli-action branches.

Changes

Deprecation documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deprecation guidance and release index
content/en/docs/help/deprecations.adoc
The page date was updated. The introduction now documents support duration, deprecation behaviors, discovery commands, validation commands, and a newest-first release table.
Deprecated item catalog anchors
content/en/docs/help/deprecations.adoc
Anchors and release details were added for manifest keys, action kinds, transformers, resource plugins, parameters, commit messages, YAML syntax, and compose filenames. scmID applicability is split between actions and other entities.
updatecli-action branch documentation
content/en/docs/help/deprecations.adoc
The section now states that v1 and v2 branch deprecations are independent of Updatecli releases. The organization-wide compose migration example, commands, and related links were removed.

Deprecated settings still work. Updatecli accepts the old form, logs a warning, and translates it to
the new one, so a manifest written years ago keeps running. The warning is the notice: nothing on
the new one, so a manifest should keeps running between releases. The warning is the notice: nothing on

* *ignored* - the setting has no effect at all beyond the warning. `commitmessage.title` ais the only
one, see <<_commit_messages>>.

Align the ignored marker with the catalog.

This definition says commitmessage.title is the only ignored entry. Lines 157-158 also mark deprecated transformer spellings as ignored when the lowercase form is present. Distinguish the unconditional and conditional cases, and change ais to is.

These branches belong to the action's own repository, which is versioned separately from Updatecli,
so this deprecation is not tied to any Updatecli release and is absent from
<<_deprecations_by_release>>.

State the supported action version explicitly.

The related content/en/docs/automate/github_action.adoc guidance requires the deprecated v1 and v2 branches to move to v3 or later. This section only says “pin a released version” and presents main as an alternative. State “Use v3 or later and pin a released version.” If main remains supported, label it as an intentional development choice. (github.com)
