We’re making updates to a select group of our open source libraries as part of ongoing maintenance and prioritization. Some libraries will move toward deprecation, while others will transition to external maintainers.

Deprecations

Planned effective date: April 19, 2026

The following libraries are moving toward deprecation:

  • hspec-golden
  • cassava-megaparsec
  • stack-build-orb
  • semantic-release-hackage

What this means:

  • Existing versions will remain available
  • Active maintenance will stop
  • Issues and PRs may not be regularly reviewed
  • No guarantees for updates or compatibility fixes

View full details in GitHub issues:

Transition to External Maintainers

The following libraries are being transitioned to external maintenance:

These projects are stable and may continue evolving through community ownership. Check them out on GitHub for additional updates!

Why We’re Making These Transitions

These updates allow us to focus our efforts on maintaining high-impact libraries and ensuring long-term quality across our open source ecosystem.

We’re committed to transparency and will continue sharing updates through GitHub.

If you’re using any of these libraries or are interested in contributing, we encourage you to join the discussion and reach out to us for more information.

Thank you to our community for your support and contributions!
