Module Sequel::Deprecation
In: lib/sequel/deprecated.rb

This module makes it easy to print deprecation warnings with optional backtraces to a given stream. There are a two accessors you can use to change how/where the deprecation methods are printed and whether/how backtraces should be included: 

  Sequel::Deprecation.output = $stderr # print deprecation messages to standard error (default)
  Sequel::Deprecation.output = File.open('deprecated_calls.txt', 'wb') # use a file instead
  Sequel::Deprecation.output = false # do not output deprecation messages

  Sequel::Deprecation.prefix = "SEQUEL DEPRECATION WARNING: " # prefix deprecation messages with a given string (default)
  Sequel::Deprecation.prefix = false # do not prefix deprecation messages

  Sequel::Deprecation.backtrace_filter = false # don't include backtraces
  Sequel::Deprecation.backtrace_filter = true # include full backtraces
  Sequel::Deprecation.backtrace_filter = 10 # include 10 backtrace lines (default)
  Sequel::Deprecation.backtrace_filter = 1 # include 1 backtrace line
  Sequel::Deprecation.backtrace_filter = lambda{|line, line_no| line_no < 3 || line =~ /my_app/} # select backtrace lines to output

Methods

deprecate   deprecate_constant  

Attributes

backtrace_filter  [RW]  How to filter backtraces. false does not include backtraces, true includes full backtraces, an Integer includes that number of backtrace lines, and a proc is called with the backtrace line and line number to select the backtrace lines to include. The default is 10 backtrace lines.
output  [RW]  Where deprecation messages should be output, must respond to puts. $stderr by default.
prefix  [RW]  Where deprecation messages should be prefixed with ("SEQUEL DEPRECATION WARNING: " by default).

Public Class methods

deprecate(method, instead=nil)

56:       end
57:       nil
58:     end
deprecate_constant(mod, constant)

If using ruby 2.3+, use Module#deprecate_constant to deprecate the constant, otherwise do nothing as the ruby implementation does not support constant deprecation.
