From 6ede22e220e6529d9fde721f92a4ff624a00c63c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cody Smith Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2021 16:08:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify maintenance mode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Looking through recent issues, this seems to be roughly the current situation. Making it clearer here, to help users evaluating this lightweight library against the heavier-weight pgx. But I confess, I might be guessing totally wrong. Whether or not this PR content is right, I just want to say thanks to the maintainers of this library. We're using it at Camus Energy to help grid operators decarbonize, a.k.a. fighting climate change. We're really happy this library exists, because it serves our needs better than pgx. Really, thanks 😃 --- README.md | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index c972a86a5..126ee5d35 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -27,4 +27,10 @@ ## Status -This package is effectively in maintenance mode and is not actively developed.
