Motivation and Context

This release focuses on streamlining Logicytics by removing outdated features and reorganizing the codebase. The deprecation of extra and unzip-extra features aligns with our strategy to maintain a focused and up-to-date toolset. By providing clear warnings and migration paths, we ensure a smooth transition for users while encouraging adoption of more modern and efficient methods.

The removal of deprecated files and functions contributes to improved code maintainability and reduces potential points of confusion for developers using the tool. These changes position Logicytics for future growth and development while maintaining backwards compatibility where possible.

We believe these comprehensive updates will significantly enhance the user experience and developer productivity within the Logicytics ecosystem. As always, we appreciate feedback from our community and look forward to continuing to improve based on user needs and technological advancements.

This version represents a significant step towards optimizing Logicytics' architecture and ensuring its continued relevance in the field of system diagnostics and management. We're excited about the opportunities this brings for further innovation and expansion of the tool's capabilities.
