Thanks to all the contributors (Ryan, Junqi, Danny, Alex) to the project linchpin for making this happen.

Announcements:

• From linchpin 2.0 release we are dropping support for python 2.x environments. We encourage our customers to upgrade to Python3.x.
• Post 2.0 Release linchpin will be put on maintenance mode. All the existing features of linchpin are supported no new features will be developed. If any bugs persist in existing features in linchpin they will be fixed in regular maintenance releases.
• However, if there are any business-critical features required by customers they will be taken upon a case by case basis
• Linchpin’s project always welcomes and encourages contributions. if there is any feature anyone would like to develop feel free to contribute to the project. We will be happy to review and merge the contribution.
