-> **Important:** There is no intent to make breaking changes in WinGet 1.X. The WinGet CLI will continue to function normally with manifests that use `InstallationNotes`, regardless of deprecation phase. The practical driver for deprecation is the **WinGet Community Repository** (winget-pkgs) schema version policy. The community repository requires new manifest submissions to use schema version **n** or **n-1** (the current or immediately prior version). As the repository moves forward to schema versions where `UserMessages` is the expected field, publishers and manifest authors will be required to adopt the new field and stop using `InstallationNotes` as a condition of submitting to the community repository — not because the client rejects it, but because the repository's validation pipeline enforces the current schema versions.
