Thanks for the replies, I was indeed caught by surprise and given that the version number is 0.11.x, I had the impression that 0.12.x would be the next major minor release (and coming soon).

@shoyer In that case I would take it back and vote for a change as soon as possible to stabilize the API. Although xarray is still considered beta, I guess some people already use it productively.

@jhamman Thanks for the offer, I think the changes were simple enough. I merely wanted to point out that some more people use(d) that feature.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,278713328

Unfortunately our API is indeed not entirely stable yet -- that's why the version number is still 0.X, not 1.X.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,278713328

We're a ways off from 0.12 so you should have time to work in any necessary changes before the feature if fully removed. If you have questions about how to adjust our use these methods, let us know.

Sorry for the late comment about a closed bug. But I find changing the API a bit irritating to say the least, and this is a serious change. Although apparently not many people use it, some actually may (myself included). And so far there has been only one bug report, so what problem are you trying to fix?
I can fix my own code but there may be others out there that cannot keep pace with the development and including their packages may then break software. For my taste the deprecation warning is a bit short if you are going to remove such a feature already in the next version. A few more cycles would be appreciated.

At the very least put a big warning sign to the documentation that xarray is still beta and the API is still subject to change.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,278713328
