The configuration reference described INI as a supported alternative to TOML ("INI remains supported and is more concise for some patterns"), and users quote that line back when asking for new INI features, as in tox-ini-fmt#359. That wording contradicts the project position that INI is frozen. 📝
The tutorial, the configuration reference, and the migration how-to now state that INI is deprecated: it keeps working for existing projects, but it receives no new features and may be removed in a future major release. Every INI example tab is relabeled
INI (deprecated);sphinx-inline-tabssyncs tabs by label, so the consistent rename keeps tab groups switching together. The configuration discovery list, its mermaid diagram, and the man page carry the same marker, and the reference links to the migration how-to.The tutorial now creates a
tox.tomlfrom the start and no longer suggests generating atox.iniviatox quickstart.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
