## discontinuation notice
14
+
Due to completion of all defined goals (the development of the IRCv3/IRCv3.1 ecosystem, major
15
+
usability changes for services, etc.), the development activity of Atheme is winding down. There
16
+
will not be another release cycle after Atheme 7.2. We encourage the community to fork Atheme and
17
+
choose the most suitable forks to drive IRC forward. To this end, we will maintain Atheme 7.2 as a
18
+
suitable base for forking until October 31, 2015, with all services (including this website)
19
+
terminating on October 31, 2016.
