300
301<p>Node.js APIs might be deprecated for any of the following reasons:</p>
302<ul>
303<li>Use of the API is unsafe.</li>
304<li>An improved alternative API is available.</li>
305<li>Breaking changes to the API are expected in a future major release.</li>
306</ul>
307<p>Node.js uses three kinds of Deprecations:</p>
308<ul>
309<li>Documentation-only</li>
310<li>Runtime</li>
311<li>End-of-Life</li>
312</ul>
313<p>A Documentation-only deprecation is one that is expressed only within the
314Node.js API docs. These generate no side-effects while running Node.js.
315Some Documentation-only deprecations trigger a runtime warning when launched
316with <a href="cli.html#cli_pending_deprecation"><code>--pending-deprecation</code></a> flag (or its alternative,
317<code>NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1</code> environment variable), similarly to Runtime
318deprecations below. Documentation-only deprecations that support that flag
319are explicitly labeled as such in the
320<a href="#deprecations_list_of_deprecated_apis">list of Deprecated APIs</a>.</p>
321<p>A Runtime deprecation will, by default, generate a process warning that will
322be printed to <code>stderr</code> the first time the deprecated API is used. When the
323<a href="cli.html#cli_throw_deprecation"><code>--throw-deprecation</code></a> command-line flag is used, a Runtime deprecation will
324cause an error to be thrown.</p>
325<p>An End-of-Life deprecation is used when functionality is or will soon be removed
326from Node.js.</p>
327<section><h3>Revoking deprecations<span><a class="mark" href="#deprecations_revoking_deprecations" id="deprecations_revoking_deprecations">#</a></span></h3>
328<p>Occasionally, the deprecation of an API might be reversed. In such situations,
329this document will be updated with information relevant to the decision.
330However, the deprecation identifier will not be modified.</p>

472<p>In an earlier version of the Node.js <code>cluster</code>, a boolean property with the name

4756.0.0, the old property was deprecated and replaced with a new
476<a href="cluster.html#cluster_worker_exitedafterdisconnect"><code>worker.exitedAfterDisconnect</code></a> property. The old property name did not

1694<p>Since Node.js versions 4.4.0 and 5.2.0, several modules only intended for
1695internal usage were mistakenly exposed to user code through <code>require()</code>. These
1696modules were:</p>
1697<ul>
1698<li><code>v8/tools/codemap</code></li>
1699<li><code>v8/tools/consarray</code></li>
1700<li><code>v8/tools/csvparser</code></li>
1701<li><code>v8/tools/logreader</code></li>
1702<li><code>v8/tools/profile_view</code></li>
1703<li><code>v8/tools/profile</code></li>
1704<li><code>v8/tools/SourceMap</code></li>
1705<li><code>v8/tools/splaytree</code></li>
1706<li><code>v8/tools/tickprocessor-driver</code></li>
1707<li><code>v8/tools/tickprocessor</code></li>
1708<li><code>node-inspect/lib/_inspect</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
1709<li><code>node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_client</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
1710<li><code>node-inspect/lib/internal/inspect_repl</code> (from 7.6.0)</li>
1711</ul>
1712<p>The <code>v8/*</code> modules do not have any exports, and if not imported in a specific
1713order would in fact throw errors. As such there are virtually no legitimate use
1714cases for importing them through <code>require()</code>.</p>
1715<p>On the other hand, <code>node-inspect</code> can be installed locally through a package
1716manager, as it is published on the npm registry under the same name. No source
1717code modification is necessary if that is done.</p>
