+deprecated_since: "0.58.0"
+---
+
+Stable Vector release archives and packages are now available from
+[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/releases). The
+`packages.timber.io/vector` URLs are deprecated for stable releases.
+
+For a pinned version, use the corresponding GitHub Release asset instead of a
+direct `packages.timber.io` URL. For example, download the Linux x86_64 GNU
+archive for version `0.58.0` from:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/releases/download/v0.58.0/vector-0.58.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
+```
+
+The Vector installer and the download instructions on
+[vector.dev](https://vector.dev/download/) use GitHub Releases for stable
+artifacts. Existing URLs continue to work during the deprecation period.
+
+| Artifact | Migration outcome |
+| --- | --- |
+| Stable Vector releases, installers, and package-manager downloads | [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/releases) |
+| `packages.timber.io/vector` versioned, `latest`, and version-alias URLs | Removed after the deprecation period |
+| Nightly builds | Will be deleted; not migrated |
+| Custom builds | Will be deleted; not migrated |
+| Helm charts | [GitHub Release assets](https://github.com/vectordotdev/helm-charts/releases); `https://helm.vector.dev` remains the Helm repository index |
+| Legacy Timber agent, CLI, and CloudWatch Lambda artifacts | Will be deleted; not migrated |
