Usability Details

The use of class types (in place of dataset type integers) in various method increases the type safety of the API.

End of Life

The API clean up has deprecated some method calls associated with dataset type integers. Some classes have been made internal or removed as they were not used or were never considered as part of the API: for example, BooleanIterator has been refactored.
