Hoa is a set of 61 PHP libraries, during our latest + Virtual Meeting 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:

+
    +
  1. Basically un-used (with less than 100 downloads in 5 years),
    2. +
  2. Not relevant anymore because they refer to dead technologies.
    3. +
+

The main goal is to reduce the effort to maintain the Hoa ecosystem.

+

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.

+

Some of the libraries weren't registered on Packagist which means that + they are not used in today PHP's world.

+

The deprecation process is simple:

+
    +
  1. Abandon the project on Packagist,
    2. +
  2. Update the README.md file to inform users,
    3. +
  3. Update the mirrors to reflect this change,
    4. +
  4. Archive the repository on Github.
    5. +
+

Here is the whole list of deprecated libraries:
