Deprecations and breaking changes notice

The following deprecations and breaking changes will be final with the release of Antora 3.0.

Syntax

The ability to use parent references in the target of the AsciiDoc image macro (e.g., image::../../../module-b/_images/image-filename.png[]) has been removed. Replace any such image targets with resource IDs before upgrading.

Antora has added the .adoc file extension to a page coordinate in page aliases and xrefs whenever it wasn’t specified by the writer. This fallback mechanism has been deprecated in Antora 3.0 to make way for using non-AsciiDoc pages in the xref facility. Review the page IDs in your xrefs and page-aliases attributes to ensure the .adoc extension is specified before upgrading.

Dependencies

Support for Node.js 8 has been dropped; the minimum required version is now Node 10.
