- Introduces official, open‑source Shopify app packages for PHP (shopify/shopify-app-php) and Python (shopifyapp) at v1.0, offering framework‑agnostic primitives for request verification, token exchange, and Admin GraphQL with retry handling
- Deprecates the older shopify‑api‑php and shopify_python_api libraries (marked abandoned/inactive); they remain functional but will no longer receive new features or security fixes
- Provides Composer/pip install commands and README documentation so developers can adopt the new packages incrementally across any stack
