The catalogue records eight shut-down events, as of 2026-09-24. Nine tools carry the shut-down status, because one tool has the status without a dated event. This log lists every event, newest first, with its evidence level and source.
How this log is built
Each entry comes from the catalogue's status event log. A shutdown is recorded when a vendor announcement, documentation page or repository states that the product has ended. Under the site's status policy, an archived GitHub repository also counts as a shutdown. No listed tool has an alternatives page as of 2026-09-24. Each entry therefore links to the tool page and its category hub.
