Would it be a good idea also to link to that warning here? |
As was pointed out by Félix Charette (@Sideni), the existing runtime deprecation warning may not provide enough visibility of the underlying issue. This commit adds a (not so pretty) warning to the documentation of the relevant API function `setAuthTag()`. The warning will be removed when `DEP0182` will be moved to End-of-Life status, presumably with the next major release. Refs: nodejs#52327 Refs: nodejs#17523
