 ====== Auto Injection Interfaces ======
-Any VuFind plugin accessed through a [[general_plugin_information|standard plugin interface]] can implement certain "-Aware" interfaces in order to be automatically injected with dependencies.  This is a convenient way to gain access to other elements of the VuFind system.
+Any VuFind plugin accessed through a [[development:plugins:general_information|standard plugin interface]] can implement certain "-Aware" interfaces in order to be automatically injected with dependencies.  This is a convenient way to gain access to other elements of the VuFind system.
 Here are the relevant interfaces:
+  * \Laminas\Log\LoggerAwareInterface - Get access to the VuFind\Logger service
   * \VuFind\Db\Table\DbTableAwareInterface - Get access to the VuFind\DbTablePluginManager service
   * \VuFind\I18n\Translator\TranslatorAwareInterface - Get access to the VuFind\Translator service
   * \VuFindHttp\HttpServiceAwareInterface - Get access to the VuFind\Http service
-  * \Zend\Log\LoggerAwareInterface - Get access to the VuFind\Logger service
-  * \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface - Get access to the plugin manager that constructed the current object
   * \ZfcRbac\Service\AuthorizationServiceAwareInterface - Get access to the authorization service (for permission checks)
-You can also implement a setPluginManager() method as an alternative to implementing the \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface; the result is the same.

+===== Deprecated/Removed Functionality =====
+As the framework behind VuFind has evolved, auto-injection has been recognized as an anti-pattern in many situations, and it is now largely discouraged. Thus, some related capabilities have been scaled back or removed.
+  * \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareTrait used to trigger auto-injection of the top-level service manager. As of VuFind 4.0, it is no longer supported.
+  * You used to be able to implement a setPluginManager() method as an alternative to implementing the \Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface; the result was the same. Support for setPluginManager was removed starting with VuFind 5.0.
+  * In VuFind 7.0, all Zend services were renamed to Laminas services because of the rebranding of the framework.
