+# AFNetworking is Deprecated
+
+As of Jan. 17, 2023, AFNetworking is deprecated and there will be no further releases. This repo will remain online in perpetuity as an archive. There are a couple options for continued AFNetworking use:
+
+1. Copy AFNetworking into your project and compile it directly. This gives you full control over the code.
+2. Fork AFNetworking and use the fork in your dependency manager. There will be no official forks but anyone can fork at any time and can even publish those forks under a different name, in accordance with AFNetworking's license.
+
+Moving forward, Alamofire is the suggested migration path for networking in modern Swift. Anyone who needs help making that migration is welcome to ask on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com) and tag `alamofire` and `afnetworking`, or open a discussion on Alamofire's [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire/discussions) regarding any migration issues or missing features.
