Hi everyone,

After many faithful years of service, the legacy gadgets API is now
officially deprecated. The complete announcement is available on the
iGoogle Developer Blog: 
http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-things-change-more-they-stay-same.html,
but here are the important details:

* The legacy API is officially deprecated as of today, September 14th.
* For three months, the legacy API will continue in its current state.
* On or around December 14th, any new gadget submissions to the
iGoogle directory must be using gadgets.*, in order to be accepted,
but existing gadgets may continue to use the legacy API.
* On the same date, the remaining inlined gadgets will be disabled.
* Finally, one year after deprecation, September 14th, 2010, gadgets
using the legacy API will cease to function on iGoogle, and the
majority of other Google-owned gadget containers (such as orkut,
Gmail, and Calendar).

In summary: all new gadgets should use the gadgets.* API. All existing
gadgets have one year to migrate to gadgets.*.

I'll be posting a migration guide and an XML conversion tool in the
next few weeks to help the transition.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Dan
