spaCy Legacy

spacy-legacy is a Python package that provides outdated registered functions and architectures for spaCy v3.x, ensuring backwards compatibility for projects that rely on older component implementations. It is automatically installed as a dependency of the main spaCy library. The package's releases are typically tied to major spaCy updates where core components undergo backwards-incompatible changes, allowing older configurations and trained models to continue functioning. The current version is 3.0.12, released in January 2023.
