We’re renaming GitHub Package Registry (GPR) to GitHub Packages. This change is reflected on GitHub.com, in the APIs and webhooks:
– There is a new PackageEvent in the Events API which replaces the existing event RegistryPackageEvent.
– There is a new package webhook which replaces the existing registry_package webhook.
– The GraphQL API schema is also changing to reflect the new name.
GitHub Sponsors for projects
GitHub Sponsors is now available in beta for projects to receive sponsorship as a team. If you’re part of an open source project with a corporate or non-profit entity and bank account, you can sign up for the waitlist today.
Users who have been selected for the beta are now able to search select repositories by pressing f on the repository page and entering their desired query. By default, it will return results which exactly match the given query (including word boundaries). Users are then able to further refine the results by requiring them to match the case of the query and/or match the whole word.
