# Planned Breaking API Changes
The following list includes the APIs that will be removed in Electron 2.0.
There is no timetable for when this release will occur but deprecation
warnings will be added at least 90 days beforehand.
## `app`
```js
// Deprecated
app.getAppMemoryInfo()
// Replace with
app.getAppMetrics()
```
## `BrowserWindow`
```js
// Deprecated
let optionsA = {webPreferences: {blinkFeatures: ''}}
let windowA = new BrowserWindow(optionsA)
// Replace with
let optionsB = {webPreferences: {enableBlinkFeatures: ''}}
let windowB = new BrowserWindow(optionsB)
```
```js
// Deprecated
let optionsA = {titleBarStyle: 'hidden-inset'}
let windowA = new BrowserWindow(optionsA)
// Replace with
let optionsB = {titleBarStyle: 'hiddenInset'}
let windowB = new BrowserWindow(optionsB)
```

```
## `menu`
```js

```js
// Deprecated
process.versions['atom-shell']

* `process.versions.electron` and `process.version.chrome` will be made
read-only properties for consistency with the other `process.versions`
properties set by Node.
## `session`
```js
// Deprecated

callback(true)

// Deprecated
tray.setHighlightMode(true)
// Replace with
tray.setHighlightMode('on')
// Deprecated
tray.setHighlightMode(false)
// Replace with
tray.setHighlightMode('off')
```
## `webContents`
```js
// Deprecated
webContents.openDevTools({detach: true})
// Replace with
webContents.openDevTools({mode: 'detach'})
```
```js
// Deprecated
webContents.setZoomLevelLimits(1, 2)
// Replace with
webContents.setVisualZoomLevelLimits(1, 2)
```
## `webFrame`
```js
// Deprecated

webFrame.setVisualZoomLevelLimits(1, 2)
// Deprecated

// Deprecated
webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsPrivileged('app', {secure: true})

protocol.registerStandardSchemes(['app'], {secure: true})
```
## `<webview>`
```js
// Deprecated
webview.setZoomLevelLimits(1, 2)
// Replace with
webview.setVisualZoomLevelLimits(1, 2)
```
## Node Headers URL
This is the URL specified as `disturl` in a `.npmrc` file or as the `--dist-url`
command line flag when building native Node modules.
Deprecated: https://atom.io/download/atom-shell
Replace with: https://atom.io/download/electron
## Duplicate ARM Assets
Each Electron release includes two identical ARM builds with slightly different
filenames, like `electron-v1.7.3-linux-arm.zip` and
`electron-v1.7.3-linux-armv7l.zip`. The asset with the `v7l` prefix was added
to clarify to users which ARM version it supports, and to disambiguate it from
future armv6l and arm64 assets that may be produced.
The file _without the prefix_ is still being published to avoid breaking any
setups that may be consuming it. Starting at 2.0, the un-prefixed file will
no longer be published.
For details, see
[6986](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/6986)
and
[7189](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/7189).
## `FIXME` comments
The `FIXME` string is used in code comments to denote things that should be
fixed for the 2.0 release. See
