Deprecated features and functionalities

This release includes the following feature/functionality that was deprecated, which may be removed in a future release. To view previously deprecated features, see the About this Release page of the previous version.

Gateway Manager profile
Prior to WSO2 API Manager 2.1.0, the Publisher and Gateway were required to be on two different cluster domains. However, from WSO2 API Manager 2.1.0 onwards clustering is no longer a necessity, because the Publisher can play the role of the Gateway Manager. Therefore, now, the Gateway Manager profile (-Dprofile=gateway-manager) has been deprecated as it is redundant.
