+ + + +Service Weaver began as an exploratory initiative to + understand the challenges of developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed + applications. We were excited by the strong interest from the developer community, + which led us to open-source the project. +
+We greatly appreciate the continued advocacy and support + of the Service Weaver community. However, we have learned what we needed from + our exploration, and we regret to announce that, effective December 5, 2024, + we will transition Service Weaver into maintenance mode. We recommend that users + fork the repository and report any issues preventing them from maintaining a + stable version of the code. After this date, for the next 6 months, we will + only push critical commits to the GitHub repository, respond to critical issues, + merge critical pull requests, and patch new releases. +
+On June 6, 2025, we plan to permanently freeze and + archive the GitHub repository, after which no new commits or releases will be made. +
