 * Hi,
 * just found out that the function `get_currentuserinfo()` has been deprecated 
   in WordPress 4.5.
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo)
 * The All In One WordPress Security plugin (Vers. 4.0.7) still uses this function
   in _wp-security-user-accounts-menu.php_ on line 257. Would be great if you would
   consider to use the new function `wp_get_current_user()` instead in an upcoming
   update. Thanks.
 * All the best,
    fraudiebels

 * Hmmm. Why has this not been fixed in the current update (version 4.0.8) ??

 * We had too many other higher priority things. This will get attention in one 
   of the upcoming releases.
    “Deprecated” for this case doesn’t mean it won’t work–
   so nothing to worry about in that sense.

 * [@chesio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chesio/) has applied an update 
   for this. So this won’t be an issue anymore after the next release.
