<h2><a name="Deprecated-names">Deprecated names</a> and features</h2>
<p style="font-size: 10pt">As the library evolves over time, names sometimes
change or old features are removed to make way for new features. To ease transition, Boost.Filesystem deprecates
the old names and features, but by default continues to provide many of them.
The deprecated names and other workarounds can be suppressed by defining macro <code>
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED</code>, and this is recommended for all new code.</p>
<p style="font-size: 10pt">In the table, &#10004; indicates a synonym or other
workaround is provided unless <code>
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED</code> is defined.</p>

<h2>Deprecation rationale</h2>
<h3><code>initial_path</code> function</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Full implementation of <code>initial_path()</code> would require
support from the C++ runtime startup code, and that doesn't seem likely to
happen. Depending on the user to call <code>initial_path()</code> at the
beginning of <code>main()</code> is too error prone.&nbsp; An equivalent
function can trivially be provided by a user.</p>
