Description
- Version: 10.0.0
- Platform: all
- Subsystem: buffer
TSC approved runtime-deprecation of Buffer constructor for 10.0.0.
Here's the tracking list. @nodejs/tsc: Feel free to edit this to add more items to the checklist. I'm just getting it started, really.
- Draft concise statement as to why we're doing this instead of leaving things where they are (with
new Buffer()
now zero-filling and a documentation deprecation for it). We're likely to see a lot of comments like https://twitter.com/shelleypowers/status/969568430105006080. - Land runtime deprecation on master (@seishun has a PR open: buffer: runtime-deprecate Buffer ctor by default #15346)
- Write material for upgrade guide (I believe @ChALkeR and @addaleax have expressed willingness to do parts of this, and @targos proposed upgrade guides in the first place so maybe him as well) Add buffer deprecation migration guide nodejs.org#1666
- Identify important public modules that need patches and submit those patches (@ChALkeR has done a lot on this already)
- Get the word out! Twitter, Node.js Collection post, whatever!
What have I missed?
@nodejs/community-committee @nodejs/buffer
