I have also been wondering about this. Some more information is see in https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg19955.html
But it seems that the chagen was introduced in rev 4621 by Dick. The commit message specifically says, "disable deprecation warnings in Debug build [...]". It is obvious that it was intentional, but it does not tell us the reasoning, so I have added Dick to the mail here in the hope he can shed some light on the issue. 2015-09-16 21:26 GMT+02:00 Jon Neal <[email protected]>: > I've seen this mentioned once or twice on IRC and I am a little curious to > see if there is actual reasoning behind this... > > Why does the release build have deprecated warnings while the debug build > doesn't?
