The
WMinkowskiDistance
class was deprecated in 1.1.KNN classes didn't properly deprecate
metric="wminkowski"
but there was the future warning for WMinkowskiDistance being deprecated so it's fine to just remove it.However,
metric="wminkowski"
was not deprecated at all forpairwise_distances
and co because it directly relies on the scipy function. That is, if you have an old version of scipy,metric="wminkowski"
works, and if you have a recent version of scipy it doesn't. I left it as is. We could decide to deprecate it properly but I'd just let it and it'll settle automatically when we drop support for scipy < 1.8.
