For example, he listed these items as being deprecated in version 7.

In another post, when someone asked if version 7 was going to be like the old developer edition, Chris responded that the commerce Commands were being deprecated but that the commerce Contexts would still function for now and said that yes version 7 will be like the developer edition. This is why there is confusion. Also, if anyone is looking for a simple store there used to be a general store included as an example commerce site, simply updating that little example would be much better than storebuilder in my opinion.

Yet, that is exactly what Chris wanted to do and your definition of depr= ecated which is the correct one, is not the way Chris used the term.=A0 For= example, he listed these items as being deprecated in version 7.

Deprecated: XML-like syntax Deprecated: [applescript]
Deprecated: phone home system Deprecated: the URL command system
Deprecated: sandboxes and "global" Deprecated: old licensing syst= em (domain limits)

As far as I know, the items above have been eliminated from version 7, n= ot deprecated.=A0

In another post, when someone asked if version 7 was going to be like th= e old developer edition, Chris responded that the commerce Commands were be= ing deprecated but that the commerce Contexts would still function for now = and said that yes version 7 will be like the developer edition.

This is why there is confusion.=A0 Also, if anyone is looking for a simp= le store there used to be a general store included as an example commerce s= ite, simply updating that little example would be much better than storebui= lder in my opinion.
