The
$fromColumn
parameter is optional since its introduction in #220. It had to be declared as optional to avoid a BC break. The fact that not passing it wasn't immediately deprecated, requires the code that interprets the diff to interpret it in two modes: with and without the$fromColumn
.Given that the property-based comparison is deprecated (#4746), the next step is to stop using
$changedProperties
and only rely on the actual column definitions. For that, we need to require$fromColumn
to be always set.Once we stop using
$changedProperties
in4.0.x
, we can deprecate it.
