Description

In v2.9.0 we deprecated timer section in st2.conf in favor of new timersengine section.

We need to remove old and deprecated timer section in st2.conf.

The current approach is also confusing - timer section has been deprecated and timerengine is the preferred approach yet the how code is structured, "timer" section actually has precedence because of the way how our code is structured.

TODO

  • Remove from config.py
  • Update affected code
  • Update upgrade notes
