## Deprecated APIs and their replacements
### Removal of Layer.defaultLayer
The `Layer.defaultLayer()` method has been deprecated, because it wasn't widely used, nor tested well, and needlessly complicated the layering logic. If one wants to set a default layer, which the keyboard switches to when booting up, `EEPROMSettings.default_layer()` may be of use.
`Layer.defaultLayer` is slated for removal by **2019-02-14**.
### More clarity in Layer method names
A number of methods on the `Layer` object have been renamed, to make their intent clearer:
- `Layer.on()` and `Layer.off()` became `Layer.activate()` and `Layer.decativate()`, repsectively.
- `Layer.next()` and `Layer.previous()` became `Layer.activateNext()` and `Layer.deactivateTop()`.
- `Layer.isOn` became `Layer.isActive()`.
The goal was to have a method name that is a verb, because these are actions we do. The old names are still present, but emit a deprecation warning, and will be removed by **2019-02-14**.
### 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.
