The linked project has tests, release notes, a clear license, and readme, while its repository remains active enough to provide source context. Maintenance has since slowed, and the workflow uses unpinned actions, so pin the replacement package instead.

Packagist marks the package abandoned at package scope and points to matomo/decompress as its replacement. This is a substantial adoption and continuity concern even though the linked project remains available.
The package has existed since October 2014 with 10 releases, but it has had no release in the last 12 months; the latest release was November 2024. This indicates slowing maintenance rather than immediate abandonment on its own.
The repository recorded zero commits and zero active maintainers in the last three months. Although it was pushed in February 2025, the recent inactivity raises maintenance risk.
There are no open issues or pull requests, but there has also been no issue or pull-request activity in the last month. This is neutral to mildly cautionary given the other signs of slowing activity.
Composer is used for builds, but no security-scanning tool was detected. The missing scanner is a hygiene gap, not evidence that the package is unsafe.
We didn't find any vulnerabilities for this package.
