Deprecations:

* The API versions 1 and 2 (also known as the REST API, ie ``/api/rest/*`` will removed

in favour of the version 3 (action API, ``/api/action/*``), which was introduced in

CKAN 2.0. The REST API will be removed on CKAN 2.8.

* The default theme included in CKAN core will switch to use Bootstrap 3 instead of

Bootstrap 2 in CKAN 2.8. The current Bootstrap 2 based templates will still be included

in the next CKAN versions, so existing themes will still work. Bootstrap 2 templates will

be eventually removed though, so instances are encouraged to update their themes using

the available documentation (https://getbootstrap.com/migration/)

* The activity stream related actions ending with ``*_list`` (eg ``package_activity_list``)

and ``*_html`` (eg ``package_activity_list_html``) will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of

more efficient alternatives and are now deprecated.

* The legacy revisions controller (ie ``/revisions/*``) will be completely removed in CKAN 2.8.

* The old Celery based background jobs will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of the new RQ based

jobs (http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/background-tasks.html). Extensions can still

of course use Celery but they will need to handle the management themselves.
