The configuration option +`-disabledeprecation` was added as a way for users to specifically choose to +stay on a particular software version. However, it incorrectly implied that +deprecated releases would still be supported. + +This release removes the `-disabledeprecation` option, so that `zcashd` software +versions made by the Zcash Company will always shut down in accordance with the +defined deprecation policy (currently 16 weeks after release). Users who wish to +use a different policy must now specifically choose to either: + +- edit and compile the source code themselves, or +- obtain a software version from someone else who has done so (and obtain + support from them). + +Either way, it is much clearer that the software they are running is not +supported by the Zcash Company.
