Saying goodbye to PHP

Hi, I'm Erin. If you're reading this you're probably using one or more of my open-source PHP repositories (most likely from the Eloquent GitHub organization). I'm writing this to let you know that I've decided to stop supporting all of my PHP packages. I will soon begin the process of deprecating them.

At the time I started working on these projects, I was a PHP developer. I used the projects I was working on in my day job, and my work was even flexible enough to allow me to work on them during work hours. As a result, the projects were well-maintained and I was able to provide support to those using them.

However, the reality is that it's been the better part of a decade since my day job involved PHP. A lot of my PHP packages need to be updated to support newer versions of PHP, and I simply don't have the motivation to do that. I'd rather be spending my time working on projects that I might actually use.

If this affects you in any way, all I can do is apologize. In the spirit of open source, you're always free to fork and modify my work, and I'd encourage anyone to do so if you were relying heavily on my packages.

Thanks for your understanding.

— Erin
