Hi, guys,

In the process of building code coverage via tests I found some parts that can be improved in the project. So I'm creating a "change_path_owner" and "change_path_mode", which should behave as more generic versions of "change_dir_owner"/"change_file_owner" and "change_dir_mode"/"change_file_mode". I'm leaving the old methods, pointing to the new ones, and marking them as deprecated.

I'd like to stablish a release to remove these deprecated methods, though, since we're in fast-paced evolution of provy, and hence moving faster to a more stable API - which will at some point have to be frozen for when we want a 1.0.0 release -; When do you think is a good time to remove them? Maybe 0.7.0?

Cheers,

Diogo

0.7.0 sounds good.

0.7.0 sounds good for me too. I think two versions is ok even after
1.0, django does that way, right?

I'm not sure if that's a stablished convention, but as far as I've seen they use to remove them after at least two minor versions, yes. Deprecate in the next one, remove it in the following one, or later.

Cheers!
