Deprecation Report

Deprecated As Of Version: 5.3
Reason: Replaced by the patch53_test. The patch_name entity was removed from the patch_object element, and replaced with the swtype, area_patched, and patch_base entities, because the patch_name element can be constructed from the swtype, area_patched, and patch_base entities. Likewise, the patch_name entity was removed from the patch_state element for the same reason. Also, a behaviors entity was added to the patch_object to allow the object to match both the original patch and any superseding patches. A new test was created to reflect these changes. See the patch53_test.
Comment: This test has been deprecated and will be removed in version 6.0 of the language.
