 As of December 14, 2023 [ciscoconfparse2][64] is released; this is equivalent to version 2.0 of [ciscoconfparse][17], but [ciscoconfparse2][64] is a different PYPI project.
 
 You should upgrade; here's why, [ciscoconfparse2][64]:
 
-
-
 - It supports all major network vendor text configuration files (Arista, Cisco, F5, Juniper, Palo Alto)
 - It supports searching across any number of configuration levels ([ciscoconfparse][17] only supports two config levels : a parent and child)
 - It adds a [string methods](http://www.pennington.net/py/ciscoconfparse2/tutorial_get_config_values.html#string-methods) so you don't need to use regex matching if you don't want to

 - It simplifies the user interface and fixes broken [ciscoconfparse][17] default parameters (this could require changing old scripts using the original API)
 - It intentionally uses a new python import to minimize confusion between itself and the original
 
+*NOTE [ciscoconfparse2][64] deprecates many legacy [ciscoconfparse][17] APIs; overall this is a good thing because [ciscoconfparse2][64] is easier to use.  As such, test your code before using [ciscoconfparse2][64] as a drop-in replacement.*
