Hello Tim,
As we are not making any new component, and we are targeting this work
to happen with 1.3 UI Toolkit, apps made prior to 15.04.5 (or wherever
this change will land) will stop working with pages using old header
configuration setup. So if you have apps in the store which uses APL
with old page header configurations, please update those.
Cheers,
Zsombor

Hey Tim,
I was wondering whether this change does affect all frameworks?
For example, will an app using the APL and targeting a prior
15.04.X framework release break because of this change or will
only 15.04.5 apps be affected?
Thanks for your reply!
All the best
Tim

Hello all,
As you probably know, some time ago we introduced the new
PageHeader component (see
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/02/24/pageheader-tutorial/
). An instance of PageHeader can be assigned to Page.header to
define the header of a Page, and if no Page.header is specified,
there is an automatic fallback to the old header.
In AdaptivePageLayout (APL), there is also a fallback header in
each column, but that complicates the APL implementation, it is
not fully covered by tests, and does not support all the features
of the new PageHeader, so we will drop support for that soon. We
need to do this before we move the APL implementation to C++ (the
API will be the same, so no more changes in app code will be
needed for that, but the APL will be much faster), so please
update your apps now if you are using APL but not the new PageHeader.
We may update the deprecated APL column-header fallback to show a
red border before we remove it, as a final warning. The progress
on the removal can be followed here:

Comments/suggestions/discussion can be added to the bug report,
or as a reply to this e-mail.
Best regards,
Tim.
