[edit] Downgrades

• Copy and Paste: We disabled the ability to copy and paste across class boundaries. We had a serious problem with users who were copying across classes and getting very frustrated with the resulting broken references. Without good reference checking available in the system, we made the decision to disable cross class copy and paste until we can come up with a better solution. The docs have been updated to reflect this change: 
  • http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/Concept_:_Understanding_Copy_and_Paste
  • http://docs.bungeeconnect.com/wiki/index.php/How_To_:_Using_Copy_and_Paste
• IRC: IRC is no longer a first-line support tool. First-line support is now offered through Get Satisfaction, which you can access through the link below:

[edit] Deprecations

• Pages: Pages are no longer an organizing principle for applications. Application layout at the highest level is accomplished by forms, therefore all documentation related to pages has been deprecated.
• Staging tab: The Staging tab (formerly the means for deploying your applications) has been replaced with the Publish tab, therefore all documentation pertaining to the Staging tab has likewise been deprecated.
