Hi everyone,
I noted from the release notes for 0.10 that step_distance is deprecated and replaced by rotation_distance. I upgraded to 0.10 and step_distance still works. does deprecation have a grace period?
I changed to rotation_distance anyway, the numbers are more human. Also prompted me to check calibration of extruder steps., so no problem, just curious.
rotation_distance has been introduced in February 2021. With v0.10 the deprecation has been officially announced and just yesterday step_distance has been removed in the Git sources.
When it takes effect for you it mainly depends on your updating habits. If you only follow official release tags then it will be effective on next release. If you follow the Git sources then much earlier.
Generally speaking you will have the deprecation warning multiple months in advance.
All deprecated options were fully removed yesterday morning. If you update now, step_distance will no longer work
