Deprecated

Features deprecated in v3.x may be removed in a future v4.0.0 release.

HOOMD may issue FutureWarning messages to provide warnings for breaking changes in the next major release. Use Python’s warnings module to silence warnings which may not be correctable until the next major release. Use this filter: ignore::FutureWarning:hoomd. See Python’s warnings documentation for more information on warning filters.

Note

Where noted, suggested replacements will be first available with v4.0.0 and there will be no releases with overlapping support for the two APIs.
