 To help API clients gracefully handle renamed repositories, the API now[automatically redirects to the repository’s new location][original-announcement].

 Our thanks goes out to everyone that tried out this enhancement[during the preview period][original-announcement]. During the preview period, you needed to[provide a custom media type in the`Accept` header][preview-media-type] to opt-in to the redirects. Now that the preview period has ended, you no longer need to specify this custom[media type][].

 To learn more about these redirects and how they benefit your applications, be sure to check out the[preview period announcement][original-announcement]. As always, if you have any questions, we're[here to help][contact].
