Adobe constantly evaluates capabilities in the product and over time plans to replace capabilities with more powerful versions, or decides to re-implemented selected parts to be better prepared for future expectations or extensions.
Backwards compatibility is key when replacing capabilities, to make sure our customers investment in our technology is safe.
The general rule is: Capabilities are 1st announced to be deprecated, and the earliest removed in the following release. That gives customers at least one release cycle to adapt their implementation to the new version of the capability, before it might get removed.
Following list are changes that have direct impact after update to AEM 6.2. They are changed behaviors that might requires changes in the project implementation.
