When a configuration file references a versioned function that no longer exists in the core library, the package provides a fallback via entry points prefixed with `spacy-legacy`. The package is installed automatically as a dependency and operates transparently\u2014direct interaction is typically unnecessary.\n\nThe design separates backwards compatibility from core library development. Instead of maintaining old function versions in the main codebase, they are moved here and exposed through entry points. This allows users with older trained models or configuration files to continue working without modification, while the core library remains focused on current versions.","worth_installing":"Install only as an automatic dependency of its parent package\u2014do not install directly. If using v3 with existing models or configs, this package is necessary for compatibility. However, its abandoned status since 2023-01-23 means no bug fixes or security patches will be provided.
