Technically, every package is on maintenance mode 😀

This is really an acknowledgment that it’s feature complete - the team is still accepting pull requests and is fixing bugs.

I used for routemaster for the longest time, but the author decided to abandon the project since Google focused on go_router. So maybe there is hope now for it to come back. I used beamer like 3-4 years ago and was not 100% happy. But maybe it is time to check it out again too :D

Why would you migrate in the first place? Which features are missing or which bugs make go_router unusable? I'm honestly curious 👀. And don't feel like I need to migrate now.

Exactly, curious why it was put into maintenance mode @redbrogdon.bsky.social

That´s probably somewhat true. At least there will not be that many breaking changes which is good. Honestly, I used routemaster for a long time still there was no update for like over a year, since it just worked for me. So we need to see how this will develop and what the future will bring.

Maintenance mode just means they will not be spend time adding more features. It sounds like it already has the features you needed since you switched your project to it. So why looking to jump ship? If anything I would just make sure my code base is not too tightly coupled to the library.

Great to see this. Go router has already been far too focused on breaking changes
