Which packages/classes/methods/features will be removed after Scala 2.9?

Question

I wonder if there is an overview somewhere, listing all the things scheduled for removal - not only the obvious things like case class inheritance - but also all the smaller places, were code/functionality will be removed.

Answer 1

OK, no other answers yet, so I'll give it a try:

Language features:

• Case-to-case-class inheritance
• Case classes without parameter lists
• val in for loops

Standard library items:

• Package scala.dbc
• Many things in scala.swing
• A few method like sort, projection, first, elements, ... in the collection library
• Methods like append, counted, findIndexOf, readInto in Iterator
• Methods Array.fromFunction and new Array[Array[....]].
• Class scala.CountedIterator
• Class scala.Cell
• Package scala.Math
• The Tuple methods, Integer, Character, Sequence, RandomAccessSequence and a few annotation types in package object scala
• @serializable
• Quite a few methods in JavaConversions/JavaConverters
• Quite a few helper methods in object List
• case object scala.concurrent.TIMEOUT, class scala.concurrent.MailBox, object scala.concurrent.pilib
• package object scala.runtime
• A few other minor things
