OK, I touched off a controversy with my use of the word "deprecated" that I did not intend, as the implied intellectual or policy commitment to that word is not really strong. :-) [..] Not everyone shares this exact set of tacit assumptions, I imagine, and I think that's what got folk exercised when I said "deprecated". These functions will surely remain for backward compatibility.
Hello Alex,
to add something more on the general level:
If we have old core functions (in a class like this one) that can be replaced completely with a new PV assigment or similar function, then we should indeed deprecate them with a log warning and then remove them completely later.
It is probably confusing especially for newcomers to Kamailio to have several functions with different semantics and syntax.
Best regards,
Henning
