We typically have points when deprecating these personal APIs. It’s because not all personal APIs would warrant a deprecation warning (and subsequently a serious model change).

A variety of cool new options have been launched as a part of Ember 3.11. With Ember.js 3.11 you now have entry to options just like the on modifier, the fn helper and rather more. With 3.11 there’s additionally a deprecation of Operate.prototype.observes.

},
}
