Deprecated Features
===================

This document lists all deprecated features in Twig. Deprecated features are
kept for backward compatibility and removed in the next major release (a
feature that was deprecated in Twig 1.x is removed in Twig 2.0).

  following class and interface will be removed in 2.0:

  ``Twig_Environment::removeExtension()`` method will be removed in 2.0.

PEAR
