Configure behavior changes

When new backward incompatible changes are implemented in DLite, the user will in most cases get a warning of the form

Warning: Behavior <NAME> is not configured. It will be enabled by default from v0.7.0. See https://sintef.github.io/dlite/user_guide/configure_behavior_changes.html for more info.

where <NAME> will be the name of the behavior that is going to be changed.

You can turn off this warning by configuring whether you want the old (deprecated) behavior or the new behavior by defining the environment variable DLITE_BEHAVIOR_<NAME>.

If DLITE_BEHAVIOR_<NAME> is defined without a value or its value is one of “true”, “.true.”, “on”, “yes” or 1, the behavior change will be enabled.

If DLITE_BEHAVIOR_<NAME> is one of “false”, “.false.”, “off”, “no” or 0, the behavior change will be disabled.

It is also possible to enable/disable all defined behavior changes by setting the environment variable DLITE_BEHAVIOR. This can be overwritten for individual behavior changes by setting DLITE_BEHAVIOR_<NAME>.

Currently the different scheduled behavior changes are only documented in the behavior table in the source code. In this table you can find a description of the behavior change <NAME> in addition to the version it was added, the version it will be turned on by default and the version it is planned for removal.
