Summary of Changes

Hello @MarkDaoust, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a critical update to the google.generativeai package by adding a FutureWarning within its __init__.py file. The change aims to clearly inform users about the package's end-of-life status, ensuring they are aware that it will no longer be maintained. Furthermore, it provides a direct path for users to find upgrade instructions, guiding them towards a supported solution and preventing reliance on an unmaintained library.

Highlights

• Package Deprecation: A FutureWarning has been added to the google.generativeai package, explicitly stating that support has ended and it will no longer receive updates or bug fixes.
• Upgrade Guidance: The deprecation warning includes a direct link to a README file on GitHub, providing users with instructions for upgrading to the recommended alternative.
• Module Imports: The warnings and textwrap modules have been imported into __init__.py to facilitate the structured display of the deprecation message.
