Package glossaries causing warning

Question

I am using MiKTeX 2.9 with TeXnicCenter. In order to adjust the space between acronyms and remove alphabetical grouping I define a new glossary style mylong.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[toc, nonumberlist,nopostdot]{glossaries}

\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\linewidth}

\newglossarystyle{mylong}{
\glossarystyle{long}
  \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
    \glsentryitem{##1}\glstarget{##1}{##2} & ##3\glspostdescription\space ##5\\[8pt]}%
    \renewcommand{\glsgroupskip}{}
}

\makeglossaries

\newacronym{A}{A}{AAAAAAAAA}
\newacronym{B}{B}{BBBBBBBBB}
\glsaddall

\begin{document}
\printglossary[style=mylong, title=List of Abbreviations]
\end{document}

Compiling gives me the following warning:

Package glossaries Warning: Deprecated command \glossarystyle. I recommend you switch to \setglossarystyle unless you want to maintain backward compatibility on input line 21.

How can I get rid of this warning?

Answer 1

You can disable the warning using package silence:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[toc, nonumberlist,nopostdot]{glossaries}
\usepackage{silence}
\WarningFilter{glossaries}{Deprecated command}% Removes warning starting with "Deprecated command"

\setlength{\glsdescwidth}{0.8\linewidth}

\newglossarystyle{mylong}{
\glossarystyle{long}
    \renewcommand*{\glossaryentryfield}[5]{%
        \glsentryitem{##1}\glstarget{##1}{##2} & ##3\glspostdescription\space ##5\\[8pt]}%
        \renewcommand{\glsgroupskip}{}
}

\makeglossaries

\newacronym{A}{A}{AAAAAAAAA}
\newacronym{B}{B}{BBBBBBBBB}
\glsaddall

\begin{document}
\printglossary[style=mylong, title=List of Abbreviations]
\end{document}
