docs: update end-of-life messages #17177

jelbourn · 2022-01-31T22:10:08Z

This change updates the messaging about AngularJS end-of-life in several places:

Docs homepage
Docs banner
Security and support pages
GitHub README

@gkalpak am I missing anything here? I also want to update the changelog, but assume that happens automatically as part of the release process?

Splaktar

The commit message needs to be updated to something like the following to pass the lint checks:

docs(*): update end-of-life messages

I'm just posting the feedback that I was able to get through so far. I got pulled away and will have to finish reviewing/providing feedback later.

README.md

+**[Support for legacy AngularJS has fully ended.](https://goo.gle/angularjs-end-of-life)**
+**Visit https://github.com/angular/angular for the actively supported Angular framework.**


I feel like just saying "Support for legacy AngularJS has fully ended." is a bit too final and may have low clickability. This may lead to frustrated community members who just rage close the browser rather than clicking on the link and reading it to find out that they have some options for moving forward (in a separate blog post). Because of this, I think that there is still value in having some text and a link to the "Finding a Path Forward with AngularJS" blog post.

In addition to that, I think it would also be useful to include the date when EOL started.

Makes sense to me

Updated the text to this everywhere:

AngularJS support has officially ended as of January 2022. [See what ending support means](https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/version-support-status) and [read the end of life announcement](https://goo.gle/angularjs-end-of-life). Visit [https://angular.io](https://angular.io) for the actively supported Angular.

gkalpak

These are all the places that need updating afaict.

Regarding the changelog, you can manually update it if you want to add an EOL notice. Do we plan on having another release (and if so, what would it include)?

Add dates in the comments so that people have a little bit more context.

I've added "as of January 2022" in the paragraph text above

I feel like this section could go away since the same page has a banner at the top of the page.

I'd err towards keeping it- doesn't hurt to repeat ourselves.

This "Visit Angular.IO for the actively supported Angular" is not necessary given that right above this section on the index there is a Big Blue button that says "Try The New Angular".

The reason I put this here is because there's some subset of people that this part of the page and jump to the incorrect conclusion that this is referring to Angular. I'd like to keep this message everywhere to prevent that.

-### Extended Long Term Support
+[Visit https://angular.io for the actively supported Angular framework](https://angular.io).


The blog link provided contains all of the relevant info that they could want around dates and time frames and reasons, etc. I feel that it would be more informative to have some quick summarized information here. Instead of deleting this entire section, I would propose:

### End Of Life On December 31, 2021 AngularJS reached End Of Life and is no longer supported. The code will remain accessible through [Github](https://github.com/angular/angular.js) [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular), [Bower](https://github.com/angular/bower-angular), and [CDN](https://code.angularjs.org/1.8.2). This website will remain here indefinitely. As support has ended, all of the git repos for AngularJS have been locked, which means that it is no longer possible to report issues in AngularJS. Read [the official End Of Life announcement](https://goo.gle/angularjs-end-of-life).

Added a summary here, PTAL

Please leave this header.

Added back the header (didn't actually mean to remove it in the first place)

Some screenshots from running this locally:

We may need to add a bit more spacing on mobile so that the version picker isn't obscured.

LGTM other than the top spacing and overlay conflict on mobile.

In the past, and in current documentation, there have been warnings for developers to not use code.angularjs.org as a CDN. Consider changing this label to something like "our release repository" or just "code.angularjs.org".

jelbourn · 2022-03-10T00:03:27Z

@Splaktar I've changed the top banner message to be inside the same container as the version picker to avoid the overlapping and updated the various top styles to adjust, seems okay now on various viewport sizes. I also made the container opaque because I wouldn't ignore the transparency 😑

I've also changed that "CDN" text to "Release archive".
