PROFILE
Will Zhao
Will Zhao focused on API cleanup and deprecation management in the iTwin/itwinjs-core repository, targeting the removal and internalization of outdated APIs to streamline the codebase. Over two months, Will removed deprecated interfaces such as getThumbnail from IModelConnection and internalized the scheduleScriptReference API within DisplayStyleState and ViewState, reducing technical debt and clarifying the API surface for future development. Working primarily in TypeScript and JavaScript, Will updated documentation and tests to ensure accurate guidance and robust coverage. The work improved maintainability, minimized backward-compatibility risks, and supported a smoother migration path for teams integrating with iTwinJS core.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for iTwinJS core focused on API cleanup and surface stabilization. The primary deliverable was removing deprecated APIs from core-frontend and appui-abstract to align with the 3.x lifecycle, including the removal of the deprecated getThumbnail API from IModelConnection. This work reduces technical debt, minimizes backward-compatibility risk, and simplifies future maintenance and migrations for customers integrating with iTwinJS core. Key impact includes improved API clarity, fewer dead paths for new development, and more predictable behavior across rendering, querying, and data handling surfaces. Documentation and tests were updated to reflect the new API surface, ensuring accurate usage guidance and robust test coverage. Commits associated with the cleanup demonstrate clear traceability and disciplined refactoring: - 55a48ed461101d6429e7d5b58d3fd42135d6d08a: Remove appui-abstract APIs deprecated in 3.x (#7557) - d9e81f3a98480ec5e06730919fdfab091ce363b3: Removed deprecated core-frontend APIs (#7591) - f2c8fc65722a5fc2e29747b84db42c2742d943f5: Removed deprecated 3.x getThumbnail API (#7624)
