⚠ ATTENTION! ⚠

In #1535, we have a new function VRMUtils.combineSkeletons that took the place of the existing VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints. VRMUtils.combineSkeletons is much more performant than VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints.
Using VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints is now deprecated and will produce a warning in the console. The function will be removed in the next major release.

I believe you can safely replace VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints with VRMUtils.combineSkeletons without any errors or performance degradation.
If you have any issues, please let us know.

- VRMUtils.removeUnnecessaryJoints( gltf.scene );
+ VRMUtils.combineSkeletons( gltf.scene );
