 This guide describes the API of the `scala.actors` package of Scala 2.8/2.9. The organization follows groups of types that logically belong together. The trait hierarchy is taken into account to structure the individual sections. The focus is on the run-time behavior of the various methods that these traits define, thereby complementing the existing Scaladoc-based API documentation.
 
+NOTE: In Scala 2.10 the Actors library is deprecated and will be removed in future Scala releases. Users should use [Akka](akka.io) actors from the package `akka.actor`. For migration from Scala actors to Akka refer to the [Actors Migration Guide](docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/actors-migration-guide.html).

 The AMK resides both in the Scala actors and in the *akka-actor.jar*. Future major releases of Scala will not contain Scala actors and the AMK.
 
 To start the migration user needs to add the *scala-actors.jar* and the *scala-actors-migration.jar* to the build of their projects.
