ML Deprecation Notes

With MeVisLab 2.1, the ML has been revised and its version number has been set to 2.0.

The most notable change of the new version of the ML is the renaming of numerous classes, methods, and macros in a systematic manner.

We provide a macro module that can be used to identify or rename uses of the deprecated ML API. Have a look at the macro module MLReplaceDeprecatedAPI.

The complete list of deprecated classes, methods, and macros can be found under Deprecated List in the side menu of the Toolbox Reference.

The following table should give an overview over the changes.

Additional notes on changes of the fields:

In all fields, the setting of pointers to member variables to be used instead of the variable encapsulated by the field itself has been deprecated
The use of setMinValue / setMaxValue has been deprecated for the fields
