**IMPORTANT NOTICE**:

This project has been **forked** to `Flask-RESTX <https://github.com/python-restx/flask-restx>`_
and will be maintained by by the `python-restx <https://github.com/python-restx>`_
organization. **Flask-RESTPlus should be considered unmaintained**.

The community has decided to fork the project due to lack of response from the
original author @noirbizarre. We have been discussing this eventuality for
almost `a year <https://github.com/noirbizarre/flask-restplus/issues/593>`_.

Things evolved a bit since that discussion and a few of us have been granted
maintainers access to the github project, but only the original author has
access rights on the PyPi project. As such, we been unable to make any actual
releases. To prevent this project from dying out, we have forked it to continue
development and to support our users.
