Sorry for selecting this answer so late! It's been almost three years :D

I'm going to look into the "deprecation warnings" way, to see if I'd be able to collect data from that. In the meantime, could you please explain more in detail what you mean by "add the code that belongs to the book in the doctests"? Is it something to do with existing, and as of now outdated code from books, or with new books, as they are published? I apologize for this need for clarification, but sometimes the language gets in the way for me.

Thank you very much for your answer! Is there a changelog of such changes, or a list of such warnings, for each version? Is there a file, somewhere in the install folder, that lists all methods that get you a warning? Or, anyway, I would very much like to help construct such "dictionary", but is there a way to do so?

Hello! Following a recent question about the new expressions for "find_minimum/maximum_on_interval", I have a more general concern: are commands that changed name across versions documented and collected in some form? So that old documentation and books aren't rendered irremediably obsolete by Sage's evolution.

Thank you very much, found them! How do I flag this question as answered?

Hello!

I'm confused about the whereabouts of the find_minimum_on_interval and find_maximum_on_interval functions. I've just started using Sage, using Sage Beginner's Guide by Craig Finch as a guide.

One of the first examples in Chapter 8 uses both these functions to find relative minima and maxima of a function, but Sage gives me this error when I try to use that code:

Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
...
NameError: name 'find_maximum_on_interval' is not defined

I get a similar error when trying to read documentation about such functions on both my local installation and the Sage Cell Server.

Since the book refers to an old version of Sage (4.5), my question is: did these functions get replaced/deleted in latter versions, or did I forget something?

Thank you very much in advance!
