In #682 (yesterday, building on #663 last month) use of
nanoarrow
was expanded in a refactoring. This a) removed the need for four helper functions and b) lead to one variable renaming for which roxygen docs needed to be updated. This PR addresses both points.Removing user-callable functions is an API change.
These four were arguably internal but if the feeling is we should preserve them with deprecation I can add four empty shells. On balance, and in this use case, this seems overkill but then again API consistency is important.The functions remain, but are marked deprecated. They are not used by any package code, but can remain until a suitable deprecation time has passed.
