Incompatible Changes in IntelliJ Platform and Plugins API

Changes in IntelliJ Platform 2017.3

Change	How to deal with it
com.intellij.internal.statistic.AbstractApplicationUsagesCollector class removed	This class isn't supposed to be used in regular plugins. Override com.intellij.internal.statistic.AbstractProjectsUsagesCollector instead if you're developing an IDE with its own statistics services.
com.intellij.internal.statistic.UsagesCollector.doPersistProjectUsages method removed	This method isn't supposed to be used in regular plugins. There is no need to call this method anymore.
org.apache.sanselan package removed	Use classes from org.apache.commons.imaging instead

Changes in DataGrip and Database Tools plugin 2017.3

Change	How to deal with it
com.intellij.database.dataSource.DataSourceManager class removed	Use com.intellij.database.psi.DbPsiFacade instead
com.intellij.database.dataSource.DataSourceManagerEx class removed	Use com.intellij.database.psi.DbPsiFacade instead
com.intellij.database.dataSource.DataSource class removed	Use com.intellij.database.psi.DbDataSource and com.intellij.database.model.DatabaseSystem instead.

com.intellij.database.view.DatabaseView.getTreeBuilder method removed	Use LangDataKeys.PSI_ELEMENT_ARRAY.get(event) to get Database view selection

Changes in PhpStorm and PHP plugin 2017.3

Change	How to deal with it
com.jetbrains.php.lang.psi.elements.Function.getReturnType() method return type changed from PsiElement to PhpReturnType	Before method had been returning a com.jetbrains.php.lang.psi.elements.ClassReference. Now method returns com.jetbrains.php.lang.psi.elements.PhpReturnType. Method ReturnType.getClassReference() can be used if you need just a ClassReference. If you need to get the PhpType, use com.jetbrains.php.lang.psi.elements.Function.getReturnType.getType() method instead
