+## DEPRECATED
+
+This project has been deprecated and will not be actively maintained. While Amazon Cloudsearch's
+2011 API version did not support Lucene, the updated 2013 API revision natively supports Lucene
+style queries and thus this library is not needed except for consumers who have yet to upgrade
+to the new API version.
+
 `l2cs` - "lucene to CloudSearch" - is a module for converting search queries from [Apache lucene's base syntax](http://lucene.apache.org/core/3_6_0/queryparsersyntax.html) into an [Amazon CloudSearch boolean query](http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/cloudsearch/latest/developerguide/booleansearch.html).
