edit

Feature: Introduce deprecation logger for internal classes and plugins. #11260 and #11486
- The Deprecation logger is a unified way for Logstash components to log deprecation notices into a separate file, located by default at log/logstash-deprecation.log. This file gives users a single location to see if they are using features that may stop working after a major upgrade.
