Hi @StephenHodgson, thank you for filing this issue. Could you please provide a link to the site where you are referencing the documentation?
StephenHodgson commentedon Nov 13, 2025
@quirogas all the docs.
Most of the examples and samples have obsolete or deprecated usages that aren't anywhere close to what the latest version requires for usages and type definitions.

Is this library abandoned? Hundreds of GitHub Issues with no responses and documentation/samples that are years out of date. Is there an alternative library that should be used instead?
Examples:
I suggest Google use a portion of its $100 billion quarterly revenue to update its documentation.
