Sweep classic deprecations so every removal lands on `2.0.0`, runtime warnings carry the auto-generated since/removal/alternative line, and replacements steer at `langchain.agents.create_agent` and `with_structured_output(...)` instead of pre-v1 LangGraph + `python.langchain.com` links. ## Changes - **Bump removal targets from `1.0` / `1.0.0` to `2.0.0`** across agents, chains, memory, retrievers, structured-output, vectorstore toolkits, and the `langchain_classic._api.module_import` shim — gives users a real runway now that v1 has shipped. - **Move bespoke `message=` strings onto `addendum=`** (or split into `alternative=` + `addendum=`). `warn_deprecated` skips the auto-generated since/removal/alternative line whenever `message=` is set, so the prior pattern silently dropped that info from the runtime `LangChainDeprecationWarning`. Matches the pattern already used in `HTMLHeaderTextSplitter.split_text_from_url`, which is updated for consistency. - **Repoint `alternative=` at v1 replacements**: chains/memory/agent toolkits → `langchain.agents.create_agent` (with checkpointer or retrieval-tool guidance in the addendum); `openai_functions` and `chains/structured_output` → `ChatModel.with_structured_output(...)`; `openapi` chains → `ChatModel.bind_tools(...)` + HTTP client. `ConversationChain` no longer points at `RunnableWithMessageHistory`. - **Refresh `AGENT_DEPRECATION_WARNING`** in `langchain_classic._api.deprecation` — drop stale LangGraph and `python.langchain.com` links in favor of `langchain.agents.create_agent` and the `docs.langchain.com/oss/python/migrate/langchain-v1` guide. Propagates to all 13 caller sites in `agents/`. - **Newly deprecate `langchain_classic.chat_models.init_chat_model` and `langchain_classic.embeddings.init_embeddings`** with the framing *"maintained in `langchain`; `langchain-classic` retains this entry point for import-compatibility only"*. The classic docstring examples and the warning admonition both point at `langchain.chat_models`. - **Improve `init_chat_model` docstrings** in both `langchain_v1` and the classic copy: clarify `provider:model` prefix vs. `model_provider=`, recommend pinned IDs over moving aliases, add the `upstage` provider row, and refresh examples to GA models (`gpt-5.5`, `claude-opus-4-7`). - **Standardize partner Anthropic deprecations**: replace `AnthropicLLM`'s `model_validator(raise_warning)` with `@deprecated(since="0.1.0", removal="2.0.0", alternative="ChatAnthropic")`, and pin the `ChatAnthropic` `output_format` runtime warning at `langchain-anthropic 2.0.0` instead of "a future version".

📕 Releases & Versioning
See our Releases and Versioning policies.
We encourage pinning your version to a specific version in order to avoid breaking your CI when we publish new tests. We recommend upgrading to the latest version periodically to make sure you have the latest tests.
Not pinning your version will ensure you always have the latest tests, but it may also break your CI if we introduce tests that your integration doesn't pass.
