-# Terminal.Gui v2.x - Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET
+***The current, stable, release of Terminal.Gui is [v1.x](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui). It is stable, rich, and broadly used. The team is now focused on designing and building a significant upgrade we're referring to as `v2`. Therefore:***
+ * *`v1` is now in maintenance mode, meaning we will accept PRs for v1.x (the `develop` branch) only for issues impacting existing functionality.*
+ * *All new development happens on the `v2_develop` branch. See the V2 discussion [here](https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/discussions/1940).*
+ * *Developers are encouraged to continue building on [v1.x](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui) until we announce `v2` is stable.*

 * **[Configuration & Themes](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/articles/config.html)** - Terminal.Gui supports a rich configuration system that allows end-user customization of how the UI looks (e.g. colors) and behaves (e.g. key-bindings).
 * **Clipboard support** - Cut, Copy, and Paste of text provided through the [`Clipboard`](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/api/Terminal.Gui/Terminal.Gui.Clipboard.html) class.
 * **[Arbitrary Views](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/api/Terminal.Gui/Terminal.Gui.View.html)** - All visible UI elements are subclasses of the `View` class, and these in turn can contain an arbitrary number of sub-views.
-* **Advanced App Features** - The [Mainloop](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/api/Terminal.Gui/Terminal.Gui.MainLoop.html) supports processing events, idle handlers, timers, and monitoring file descriptors. Most classes are safe for threading.

 * **Reactive Extensions** - Use [reactive extensions](https://github.com/dotnet/reactive) and benefit from increased code readability, and the ability to apply the MVVM pattern and [ReactiveUI](https://www.reactiveui.net/) data bindings. See the [source code](https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui/tree/master/ReactiveExample) of a sample app in order to learn how to achieve this.

+* PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes

+Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

 To release a new version (e.g. with a higher `major`, `minor`, or `patch` value) tag a commit using `git tag` and then push that tag directly to the `main` branch on `github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui` (`upstream`).
