Which is more current, M5Unified of M5Core2?

wsanders

The main class M5Core2 in the file M5Core2.h Arduino IDE library version 0.1.9, contains the following attribute:

class M5Core2 {
   public:
    M5Core2();
    [[deprecated(
        "It is recommended to use M5Unified Lib, which will be discontinued "
        "soon.")]] void

That comment makes no sense in English translation. Of course one would not want to recommend a library that will be discontinued.

Should we all be using M5Unified now?

Maybe if M5Core2 is deprecated it should be removed from the Arduino IDE library database?

@wsanders Ah, no!
Many of my projects use this library.

@teastain I posted an issue in the library repo, perhaps the ambiguous comment will be clarified. M5Core2 was updated last Jan 29, latest update to M5Unified was 3 days ago.

M5Unified is the more current library compared to M5Core2. The M5Core2 library has been deprecated, and users are encouraged to transition to M5Unified for ongoing support and updates. This transition is part of M5Stack's strategy to unify their libraries under M5Unified, which offers enhanced features and compatibility across various M5Stack devices.
