As such, this library is considered feature complete, and should receive exclusively bugfixes and security fixes. We do not recommend using this library in new projects and encourage authors of downstream libraries to offer support for attributes as an alternative to Doctrine Annotations. Have a look at [our blog](https://www.doctrine-project.org/2022/11/04/annotations-to-attributes.html)to learn more.
