Backport new helper names to v0.2 to avoid dependency hell

[jelhan]

Are you open to backport the helper renaming to v0.2 as well?

Having a v0.2.1 release with the new names in addition to the old once would help with upgrading as addons could support ^0.2.0 || ^1.0.0. The current setup forces an addon upgrading to v1 dropping support for v0.2 at the same time. Applications using multiple addons which depend on ember-render-helper are forced to upgrade all of them at once. This often slows down upgrading any of them and causes additional work due to amount of changes needed at once.

Every addon could work around using Embroider Macros. But I feel it is easier solving it once by having a v0.2.1 release of ember-render-helpers, which provides the new names as alias.

@buschtoens: Can I interpret your thumbs up as looking forward for a PR?

@ijlee2 Are you open to release such a v0.2 release easing the upgrade path? I have some time working on it tomorrow. But would be great having a confirmation before that you are open to releasing it.

Hi, @jelhan. I missed the notification from this issue, my bad.

Yes, I agree that releasing 0.2.1 with the new names would help. To confirm, will you create such a pull request, or did you need me to? (I'd prefer the former due to a lack of time.)

Either way, I think it'd be good to call Ember's deprecate() method in the helpers without -helper. Can you check the format shown in ijlee2/ember-container-query@c758c51 (i.e. call deprecate() in the source files in addon, not in the re-export files in app)?

[jelhan]

Thanks for your quick response. I will provide a PR as soon as possible. If all goes well by tomorrow.

@ijlee2 I have implemented the changes here: https://github.com/buschtoens/ember-render-helpers/compare/v0.2.0...jelhan:ember-render-helpers:backport-new-helper-names-to-v0.2?expand=1

I branched of from v0.2.0 tag (71f650b).

I cannot create a PR because there isn't a target branch in this repository. Do you mind creating a new branch with name v0.2.x or alike based on v0.2.0 (71f650b)? I can create the PR afterwards.

@jelhan Thanks again for your help. I published 0.2.1, which should help your migration case.

[jelhan]

Thanks a lot. Working as expected.
