  dronecode.org lists PX4, PIXHAWK, MAVLINK, QGROUNDCONTROL and MAVSDK as the five projects the
  Foundation hosts. Everything marked official:true below is published from the github.com/mavlink
  or github.com/PX4 organisation, which are those projects' homes under Dronecode governance.
  pymavlink and node-mavlink are deliberately EXCLUDED: both are published from github.com/ArduPilot,
  a different foundation, even though they implement the same MAVLink protocol.

  - name: mavsdk
    registry: pypi
    url: https://pypi.org/project/mavsdk/
    repository: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Python
    language: Python
    official: true
    version: 3.17.2
    published: '2026-07-22'
    description: >-
      MAVSDK client for Python. Generated from the MAVSDK-Proto gRPC contract and bundled with a
      mavsdk_server binary, so the package ships both the client stubs and the server that speaks
      MAVLink to the vehicle.
    note: >-
      Tracks the MAVSDK C++ release line. Upstream MAVSDK was at v3.17.4 (2026-08-25) when this was
      read, so the Python wheel is two patch releases behind — normal lag for this project, not decay.

    published: '2026-08-25'
    description: >-
      Packaged mavsdk_server binary for the JVM/Android — the gRPC server that terminates the
      MAVSDK-Proto contract and bridges it to the MAVLink vehicle link.

    official: true
    version: 0.18.0
    published: '2026-09-03'
    description: >-
      Rust implementation of the MAVLink data interchange format, generated from the dialect XML in
      github.com/mavlink/mavlink. This is the MAVLink protocol crate, not a MAVSDK gRPC client.

  - name: github.com/mavlink/mavsdk-go
    registry: go
    url: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mavlink/mavsdk-go
    repository: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Go
    language: Go
    official: true
    version: v0.3.6
    published: '2025-07-14'
    description: MAVSDK client for Go — generated gRPC stubs for the MAVSDK-Proto services.
    note: >-
      ABANDONMENT SIGNAL. Last module version v0.3.6 (2025-07-14, read from proxy.golang.org) against a
      MAVSDK C++/Proto line that is at 3.17.4 (2026-08-25). The Go client is more than a year and a
      whole major line behind the contract it wraps, and the repository publishes no GitHub releases.
  - name: Mavsdk (Swift Package)
    registry: none
    url: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Swift
    repository: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Swift
    language: Swift
    official: true
    version: 1.2.0
    published: '2023-10-11'
    description: MAVSDK client for Swift, distributed as a Swift Package (SwiftPM has no central registry to query).
    note: >-
      ABANDONMENT SIGNAL, and no registry to check it against — SwiftPM resolves from the git tag, so
      the version above is the newest GitHub release tag (1.2.0, 2023-10-11). Nearly three years behind
      the 3.17.x MAVSDK line; a consumer resolving `from: "1.2.0"` gets a client for a contract two
      major versions old.
excluded:
  - name: pymavlink
    registry: pypi
    version: 2.4.49
    published: '2025-08-01'
    reason: >-
      Real and widely used, but published from github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink — the ArduPilot project,
      not Dronecode. Recorded here so a later pass does not re-add it as first-party.
  - name: node-mavlink
    registry: npm
    version: 2.3.0
    published: '2025-08-26'
    reason: Published from github.com/ArduPilot/node-mavlink — ArduPilot, not Dronecode.
  - name: mavlink
    registry: npm
    version: 1.0.1
    published: '2013-05-17'
    reason: >-
      Third-party (github.com/omcaree/node-mavlink), last published 2013. Not a Dronecode artifact and
      squats the obvious npm name — worth knowing when judging the JavaScript story.
gaps:
  - >-
    No first-party JavaScript/TypeScript client. MAVSDK-JavaScript (github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-JavaScript,
    a grpc-web wrapper) was last pushed 2022-02-12 and was never published to npm; the `mavlink` npm
    name belongs to an unrelated 2013 package.
  - >-
    MAVSDK-CSharp and MAVSDK-Rust are both ARCHIVED in the github.com/mavlink organisation
    (last pushed 2022-02-11 and 2024-04-19). No .NET or Rust gRPC client is currently maintained.
