Worked on the iTwin/itwinjs-core repository to streamline and modernize the API surface by removing deprecated features and internalizing outdated interfaces. Focused on API deprecation management and refactoring, the work included eliminating legacy APIs such as getThumbnail from IModelConnection and scheduleScriptReference from DisplayStyleState and ViewState, reducing technical debt and simplifying future migrations. Updated documentation and tests ensured accurate guidance and robust coverage for the new API structure. Leveraged TypeScript and JavaScript to implement disciplined code cleanup, promoting maintainability and reducing onboarding friction for developers integrating with the core library’s rendering, querying, and data handling components.

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)
