alias_attribute Rails deprecation warnings about spree HOT 3 CLOSED

All of these were fixed in v4.8!

Hi @fdocr - that's correct, they were defined for backwards compatibility reasons. We didn't remove these aliases in 4.7, as we didn't want to introduce unnecessary breaking changes that would affect users' codebases. That said, I think the next version of Spree would be a good moment to sort this out :)

These deprecations not a problem at this moment, and such warnings can be suppressed in Rails configuration if they cause too much noise in the logs.

As for the solution - I'm leaning towards removing the aliases. I was planning to go through the aliased attributes one by one and verify if they're used in any meaningful way in both spree and spree-contrib repos. Given that the aliases are quite simple, I think anyone relying on them in their custom code should also be able to easily upgrade.

That's great to hear @rafalcymerys, thank you for clarifying!
