Import Path Change Notice
The README section "Import Path Change Notice" states: The New York Times recently changed the github organization from NYTimes to nytimes . This should not affect the installation as long as you use the proper casing NYTimes and not nytimes per installation instructions above.
Import Path Change Notice
The README section "Import Path Change Notice" states: However, the intention is to migrate the import paths to be consistent with how it's shown on GitHub. This will be a breaking change and we will introduce a major tag when we update the code. Therefore, the import path will go from github.com/NYTimes/gizmo/server to github.com/nytimes/gizmo/v2/server . This ensures that people will not have type-mismatches between import path changes.
