End-of-life functionality

End-of-life functionality is functionality that was available in the previous release, but is no longer available in this release.

#23679 Property Encoding is no longer supported

This mechanism was used to handle binary data (varbinar, blob, etc) stored as Base64 in a database.

Genus will no longer produce such data.

If Genus needs to read binary data stored as Base64, use a vendor specific conversion (BASE64_DECODE, etc) on the field.

To detect if the mechanism is in use, query with SELECT * FROM g_object_class_property WHERE pen_tp <> 0
