Deprecated Commands #86

Closed DallonTG closed 5 years ago

DallonTG commented 5 years ago

Deprecated commands, such as "write_tcp", cause confusion for people starting out with Tincr and RapidSmith2.

I think we should either entirely remove some of these deprecated commands or at least immediately print some sort of warning message when a user calls a deprecated command.

Agree completely. With regards to RapidSmith2 issue #364, it only became clear this morning after his reply to my first question that he was using write_tcp (I didn't even realize that command was in the distribution).

DallonTG commented 5 years ago

Should we just delete the Tincr IO procedures that are deprecated? I don't see any reason for them to stay.

nelsobe commented 5 years ago

I believe we should.
