For those wishing to port Kaleidoscope to devices it doesn't support yet, the new API should make most things considerably easier. Please see the (work in progress) documentation in [doc/device-apis.md](doc/device-apis.md).
The old symbols and APIs will be removed by **2020-03-15**.
### New plugin API
#### For end-users
@ -497,23 +497,7 @@ After renaming, some of the original symbols have been deprecated. The deprecate
Row/col based indexing was replaced by linear indexing throughout the whole firmware. A compatibility layer of functions was introduced that allows
the firmware to remain backwards compatible, however, these functions are deprecated and will be removed in future versions of the firmware.
Also a new version of the onKeyswitchEvent-handler has been introduced. The old version is deprecated.
### Finer OneShot stickability control
The [OneShot plugin](doc/plugin/OneShot.md) has much improved stickability control. Instead of only being able to control if one-shot layers should be stickable too, or disabling the sticky feature in general, it is now possible to control stickiness on a per-key basis with the new `OneShot.enableStickability()` and `OneShot.disableStickablity()` methods. The old properties are still available, but will be removed by **2019-04-30**.
### EEPROMKeymap mode
The [EEPROM-Keymap](doc/plugin/EEPROM-Keymap.md) plugin had its `setup()` method changed, the formerly optional `method` argument is now obsolete and unused. It can be safely removed. Supplying a second argument will continue to work until its scheduled removal by **2019-04-30**.
## keymaps array and KEYMAPS and KEYMAPS_STACKED macros
The `keymaps` array has been replaced with a `keymaps_linear` array. This new array treats each layer as a simple one dimensional array of keys, rather than a two dimensional array of arrays of rows. At the same time, the `KEYMAPS` and `KEYMAPS_STACKED` macros that were previously defined in each hardware implmentation class have been replaced with `PER_KEY_DATA` and `PER_KEY_DATA_STACKED` macros in each hardware class. This change should be invisible to users, but will require changes by any plugin that accessed the 'keymaps' variable directly.
Code like `key.raw = pgm_read_word(&(keymaps[layer][row][col])); return key;` should be changed to look like this: `return keyFromKeymap(layer, row, col);`
The old, deprecated, API will be removed on **2019-08-13**.
Also a new version of the onKeyswitchEvent-handler has been introduced. The old version is deprecated, and will be removed after **2020-03-15**.
