This module is deprecated, not obsolete

Created on 6 October 2023, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

This module will not actually be obsolete until Drupal 10.1 is no longer supported. Obsolete modules are typically empty stubs. You may be thinking of a deprecated module, which this now is.

Also, the project page currently shows that the module only works with Drupal version greater than 10.2, when in fact the opposite is true.

    This module will not actually be obsolete until Drupal 10.1 is no longer supported.

    This module offers the exact same functionality as the built-in permissions overview filter on Drupal 10.1, which makes the module obsolete when running on that version.

    Obsolete modules are typically empty stubs.

    The new version of this module might as well have been an empty stub - I added an early return to the form alter that typically adds the filter, but only if the core filter is already present. This makes it so practically none of the module code is actually executed when using the module on Drupal 10.1.

    Also, the project page currently shows that the module only works with Drupal version greater than 10.2, when in fact the opposite is true.

    Seems like you can only make one release per branch appear on the project page, so not much I can do there. I updated the warning text in the module description to make it clearer that the module can still be used on older versions.

    Thanks for the clarification about 10.1 and for adding to the warning notice. Perhaps you can bold that part about "The module can still be used on older versions of Drupal" so that is stands out, as it is easy to miss.
