Code compatibility

    I have developed an add-on for my private use, with the intention on some day publishing it.
    Some time ago, one of my add-on’s functionalities stopped working because the code was invoking Newsletter::save_sent(), which –as I discovered– has been replaced with save_sent_message().
    While debugging and fixing that problem, I noticed that function register_mail_method(), which I am also using, is now marked “deprecated since version 6.0.0”, so I am afraid it may disappear as well.
    I understand the need to evolve software, but I am left with the question as to how add-on developers are supposed to keep up with the changes:
    – Were these changes announced somewhere that I should have looked? I don’t remember seeing them in the release notes.
    – Are there other, equivalent but stable APIs that I should be using instead?
    Thank you.

    P.S. I also posted this on the private forum, but didn’t get any reply.

    Hi, sorry for this long delay. Could you help me understanding your integration? So we can find out the correct way or even add more “hooks” to Newsletter to preserve compatibility over time.

    We can discuss here or contact me privately at stefano[at]thenewsletterplugin.com

    Thank you, Stefano.
