They are not deprecated. Also, you changed types, not calls.

That's the reason they were deprecated -- one time you need utf8,
another ascii.

If string comes from user input, files, are translated etc, you need to
use utf8 version. If it compares URIs, simple untranslated strings or
strings containing numbers, you can use ascii version.

wipro guys, you just waste your time by doing such changes. It is even
recommended to use int, not gint, as they are exactly the same,
char/gchar also.

This and similar patches just won't be accepted ever. And we have
already seen such a patch from you or your co-worker.

We appreciate that you are trying to help GNOME, but you choose quite
strange and unneeded things to do. Look at bugzilla, todos , test, and
fix real bugs, not just run grep/replace on source files.
