Deprecation Roadmap
-------------------
This page lists deprecated features and when we plan to remove them. It is important to list the feature, the version where it got deprecated and the version we plan to remove it.
We track deprecation and removal of features using milestones and the `deprecation <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues?q=label%3A%22type%3A+deprecation%22>`_ and `removal <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/labels/type%3A%20removal>`_ labels on GitHub.
Following our deprecation policy, we should aim to keep features for *at least* two minor versions after it was considered deprecated.
Future Releases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.4
^^^
**Old style classes**

4.0
^^^
**Yield tests**

**--result-log**

**metafunc.addcall**
Issue: `#2876 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2876>`_.
Deprecated in ``3.3``.
**pytest_plugins in non-toplevel conftests**
There is a deep conceptual confusion as ``conftest.py`` files themselves are activated/deactivated based on path, but the plugins they depend on aren't.
Issue: `#2639 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2639>`_.
Not yet officially deprecated.
**passing a single string to pytest.main()**
Pass a list of strings to ``pytest.main()`` instead.
Deprecated in ``3.1``.
**[pytest] section in setup.cfg**
Use ``[tool:pytest]`` instead for compatibility with other tools.
Deprecated in ``3.0``.
Past Releases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.0
^^^
* The following deprecated commandline options were removed:
* ``--genscript``: no longer supported;
* ``--no-assert``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
* ``--nomagic``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
* ``--report``: use ``-r`` instead;
* Removed all ``py.test-X*`` entry points. The versioned, suffixed entry points
were never documented and a leftover from a pre-virtualenv era. These entry
points also created broken entry points in wheels, so removing them also
removes a source of confusion for users.
3.3
^^^
* Dropped support for EOL Python 2.6 and 3.3.
Following our deprecation policy, after starting issuing deprecation warnings we keep features for *at least* two minor versions before considering removal.
