/*! \page api_break Backwards Incompatible Changes
\tableofcontents
The API of QGIS libraries is allowed to be changed just between major versions of QGIS. For example, there
are various planned backwards incompatible changes between QGIS 1.8 and 2.0 because the version 2.0 is a new
major version. After a release of a major version of QGIS (e.g. 2.0) the developer team is committed to maintain
stable API for all subsequent minor releases (2.2, 2.4, ...). That roughly means we do not rename classes and methods,
remove them nor change their semantics. Existing code should keep working when the user updates QGIS
to another minor version (e.g. from 2.0 to 2.2), so all extensions of existing classes should be done in a manner that
third party developers do not need to adjust their code to work properly with newer QGIS releases.
Sometimes, however, we may need to break the API as a result of some code changes. These cases should be only exceptions
and they should happen only after consideration and agreement of the development team. Backwards incompatible changes
with too big impact should be deferred to a major version release.
This page tries to maintain a list with incompatible changes that happened in previous releases.
QGIS 3.0 {#qgis_api_break_3_0}
========
Version 3.0 brings changes to many underlying dependencies which QGIS is built upon. Any existing PyQGIS code will
need to be updated to address the changes made within these libraries.
Python 3.0
----------
QGIS 3.0 introduces a move to Python 3. This version brings many changes to both the Python language and individual Python
libraries. A good place to start learning about the changes involved, and how to port your code to Python 3, is available
in the official Python documentation: [Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html).
Qt 5
----
QGIS 3.0 is based off version 5 of the underlying Qt libraries. Many changes and API breaks were introduced in Qt5. While
it is c++ specific, a good place to read about the major changes introduced in Qt5 is at the Qt docs:
[C++ API changes](http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sourcebreaks.html)
PyQt 5
------
Together with the Python and Qt version changes, the PyQt libraries which expose Qt classes to Python have also had their
version bumped to PyQt 5. The changes introduced in PyQt 5 and the steps required to upgrade existing code are summarised at:
[Differences Between PyQt4 and PyQt5](http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/pyqt4_differences.html)

Removed Classes {#qgis_api_break_3_0_removed_classes}
---------------
- QgsAttributeAction was removed, and replaced by QgsActionManager.
- QgsAttributeEditor was removed. Use QgsEditorWidgetRegistry::create() instead.
- QgsColorbutton was removed. QgsColorButtonV2 has now been renamed to QgsColorButton. Hence, QgsColorButtonV2 does not exist anymore.
- QgsColorDialog was removed, and QgsColorDialogV2 was renamed to QgsColorDialog. Hence, QgsColorButtonV2 does not exist anymore.
All the functionality from the old QgsColorDialog has been moved to the new class.
- QgsColorRampComboBox was removed, replaced by QgsColorRampButton
- QgsComposerAttributeTable and associated classes (eg QgsComposerAttributeTableCompare,
QgsComposerAttributeTableColumnModel, QgsComposerTableSortColumnsProxyModel) were removed.
Use QgsComposerAttributeTableV2 instead.
- QgsComposerLegendItem and subclasses were removed (QgsComposerSymbolItem, QgsComposerRasterSymbolItem, QgsComposerLayerItem, QgsComposerGroupItem, QgsComposerStyleItem).
- QgsComposerTable was removed. Use QgsComposerAttributeTableV2 instead.
- ComposerTextTable was removed. Use ComposerTextTableV2 instead.
- QgsCRSCache was removed. QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem now internally uses a cache for CRS creation,
so there is no longer a need for the separate cache class. Code which previously called QgsCRSCache::updateCRSCache()
should now call QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::invalidateCache() and QgsCoordinateTransformCache::instance()->invalidateCrs( authid ).
- QgsHttpTransaction. This class was outdated and code should be ported to native Qt or Python implementations.
- QgsLabel and QgsLabelAttributes. Replaced by labeling based on PAL library, see QgsLabelingEngine.
- QgsLabelingEngineInterface. Replaced by QgsLabelingEngine.
- QgsLegendInterface was removed. It was replaced by layer tree API (QgsLayerTreeNode class and others).
Methods that deal with custom actions in main window's layer tree context menu were moved to QgisInterface:
- addLegendLayerAction() moved to QgisInterface::addCustomActionForLayerType()
- addLegendLayerActionForLayer() moved to QgisInterface::addCustomActionForLayer()
- removeLegendLayerAction() moved to QgisInterface::removeCustomActionForLayerType()
- QgsLegendModel was removed.
- QgsMapCanvasLayer. Map canvas and overview canvas are updated separately with their own setLayers() calls.
- QgsMapCanvasMap. It is an internal class used by map canvas.
- QgsMapLayerRegistry. Its functionality has been moved to QgsProject.
- QgsMapRenderer. It has been replaced by QgsMapRendererJob with subclasses and QgsMapSettings.
- QgsPseudoColorShader. This shader has been broken for some time and was replaced by QgsSingleBandPseudoColorRenderer.
- QgsProjectBadLayerGuiHandler was removed. It was unused in QGIS code and barely useful. Implement your own QgsProjectBadLayerHandler subclass if needed.
- QgsRendererV2DataDefinedMenus was removed. Use QgsDataDefinedButton instead.
- QgsLegacyHelpers.
- QgsProviderCountCalcEvent and QgsProviderExtentCalcEvent. These classes were unused in QGIS core and unmaintained.
- QgsEditorWidgetConfig was removed. Use QVariantMap instead.
- QgsSymbologyV2Conversion was removed. Reading of renderers from pre-1.0 versions is not supported anymore.

Data Providers {#qgis_api_break_3_0_DataProviders}
--------------
- Many methods in QgsDataProvider, QgsVectorDataProvider and QgsRasterDataProvider have been made const-correct.
This has no effect on PyQGIS code, but c++ code implementing third-party providers will need to update the
signatures of these methods to match. Affected methods are:
- QgsDataProvider: crs(), extent(), isValid(), supportsSubsetString(), subsetString()
- QgsVectorDataProvider: getFeatures(), minimumValue(), maximumValue(), uniqueValues(), enumValues(), defaultValue(),
attributeIndexes(), pkAttributeIndexes(), isSaveAndLoadStyleToDBSupported()
- QgsRasterInterface: extent()
- Many protected member variables have been wrapped in setter/getter methods.
This should generally only affect 3rd party providers
- mCacheMinMaxDirty: use clearMinMaxCache()
- mNativeTypes: use setNativeTypes()
- mAttrPalIndexName: overwrite palAttributeIndexNames()

None will need to be modified, as the method will return an empty geometry if the feature has no geometry.</b>
