was created to extend the features of the original AForge.NET library.

Discontinuation of free public support and future development

On April 1, 2012, Andrew Kirillov announced the end of the public support for the library, temporarily closing the discussion forums. The last release of the AForge.NET Framework was made available on July 17, 2013. However, since its release 3.0 in 2015, the

project started to incorporate most of the original AForge.NET source code in its codebase, continuing its support and development under the

name.
