List of obsolete methods to deprecate

[akien-mga]

We have quite a few obsolete and/or empty methods that should be deprecated, as they can be quite misleading for the users (see e.g. this question about OS.get_fullscreen_mode_list()). Especially OS seems to have a good share of obsolete methods, that when asked about @reduz says "Don't use it, it's obsolete, use instead".

So this issue is meant to list and discuss such methods, to see which ones we should deprecate (and which ones should not be deprecated but maybe improved/fixed). Once #4397 is solved, we should have a simple way to efficiently deprecate methods.

To deprecate for 2.1

• OS.get_fullscreen_mode_list
• OS.set_video_mode

Already deprecated for 2.1

Just stumbled over it.

• OS.get_borderless_window()
• OS.set_borderless_window()

Looks like it is only implementated in OS.initialize() for windows.
Is it also deprecated?

[akien-mga]

OS.get_borderless_window()
OS.set_borderless_window()

Nope, those were added recently, but indeed only for Windows. If those would be relevant for other platforms, we should probably open an issue about it to keep track of their implementation.

Superseded by #5696.
