| <p>Hoa is a set of 61 PHP libraries, during our <a href="http://discourse.hoa-project.net/t/hoa-virtual-meeting/22/34">latest | ||
| Virtual Meeting</a> we choose to deprecate some libraries. This is important | ||
| for us to ensure that Hoa stays relevant and up to date regarding real | ||
| world needs. | ||
| We have decided to remove the ones that are:</p> | ||
| <ol> | ||
| <li>Basically un-used (with less than 100 downloads in 5 years),</li> | ||
| <li>Not relevant anymore because they refer to dead technologies.</li> | ||
| </ol> | ||
| <p>The main goal is to reduce the effort to maintain the Hoa ecosystem.</p> | ||
| <p>To be sure about the list items, we checked Packagist and GitHub stats. | ||
| We also choose to keep the one we use for private projects at the | ||
| moment.</p> | ||
| <p>Some of the libraries weren't registered on Packagist which means that | ||
| they are not used in today PHP's world.</p> | ||
| <p>The deprecation process is simple:</p> | ||
| <ol> | ||
| <li>Abandon the project on Packagist,</li> | ||
| <li>Update the <code>README.md</code> file to inform users,</li> | ||
| <li>Update the mirrors to reflect this change,</li> | ||
| <li>Archive the repository on Github.</li> | ||
| </ol> | ||
| <p>Here is the whole list of deprecated libraries:</p> | ||
