When will GH1 be discontinued?

Hello community,

What will be the future of GH1? Considering that updates between Rhino versions typically span 2-3 years, I’m curious if there’s any information available about the potential lifecycle and discontinuation of GH1. Will it bid farewell in Rhino 8, or will it last until Rhino…?

My interest has been sparked by the GH2 Alpha release in March 2022 and the latest main update for GH1 in Rhino 8.
I’m eager to understand whether there are plans to phase out GH1 or if there’s an official statement on the matter. I would appreciate any insights or clarification the community or the Rhino development team can provide.

What gave you the impression anything would be phased out?

GH1 will remain relevant until plugin development in GH2 overcomes GH1 abilities and users stop using it. This will be an organic process over the 10-15 yrs most likely, hard to say though, technology changes, workflows change. The flexibility of the Grasshopper environment will be a constant.
