A final farewell
They say all good things must come to an end... After 2½ years of actively updating my Gapps packages on a regular basis, the time has come for me to step aside.
I'm very proud of the work that @osm0sis and I have done in creating this new generation of GApps installers and the groundwork we laid in allowing others to carry on our work. This entire project has been Open Sourced and licensed under a GPL v3.0 license which guarantees that all current and future development must remain Open Source and free to use by anyone who wants to use our code (See GPL v3 for complete deails).
I'd like to thank @Chainfire for his pioneering work in zip file shell scripting. Without his work to analyze, none of this would likely have happened. I'd also like to thank @osm0sis for partnering with me on the last part of this journey. The value he provided me goes far beyond his immense code contributions. His wisdom and advice behind the scenes has also been greatly valued.
Thanks, also , to the many thousands of users who've used these GApps over the years. Last time I checked my logs, there were over 15 million downloads of these GApps. Thanks for trusting us with your valuable devices!

And I want to thank @TKruzze for all of his time, hard work and the lasting effect his contributions have had on the Android community! I wish him all the best. 
As a final parting gift, in addition to the full 2015-10-15 beta I reposted above, we've also hosted a final unreleased TK GApps for KitKat that @TKruzze was maintaining privately for awhile after PA GApps.

Enjoy, and happy flashing!

@TKruzze and @osm0sis while it saddens me to see this project end, I am happy to look back and see how you brought gapps packages out of the dark ages so to speak. You both changed the landscape and what we expect from our gapps packages. Thank you and bravo gents!!

Thank you both for the fantastic packages. Good luck in your future endeavors, TKruzze.
Both TKruzze and osm0sis have made huge contributions to the community overall, huge thanks to both for the great work on the gapps. While osm0sis still releases mods/kernels for n7, I hope TKruzze the best at whatever he chooses to pursue. Thanks for all the fish guys!
Drag. Best and most well-maintained gapps out there, by far. Best of luck to you tkruzze, wherever you are. Thanks so much again for all your hard work on this. And thanks again to osm0sis for all your work as well.

Thankyou.it was a pretty good thing that we can flash the tk gapps
Thanks guys for creating and maintaining the gapps. Now that you're gone, What is the 'next best thing' in terms of gapps? Does anyone feel comfortable to recommend any other package to switch to in future? Thanks!

I recommend OpenGApps, it's basically an improved PA/TK GApps. And it's updated daily, getting new build if there's a new Google APK.
Another one is Delta GApps. It's better if you're saving on mobile data, there's a base GApps that only includes the core apps and libs, and the other GApps are separated in other zips.
I wish the best for all who made this project amazing like that i enjoyed with flashing this gapps a lot of time thank you all
The basic principles are similar, but TK GApps are no longer being actively maintained since last October.
Open GApps was originally based on TK with the different packages & .gapps-config functionality. They have added more automation to the builds so there are nightly builds across the gamut of architectures (ARM, ARM-64, x86).
These are auto-generated so there may not be any differences day-to-day, if no new GApps were released or enhancements to the core scripting.
I used TK (and it's predecessor PA) GApps for many years on all my devices, but I've since migrated to Open GApps.

If there isn't any commit to OpenGApps, a new build won't be uploaded. E.g. there wasn't any update during the last days of December.
Open GApps has similar customizations with configuration file and range of packages

Enjoy, and happy flashing!49All TK GApps (formerly Official PA GApps) discussion will take place here to keep the main thread operational as a release thread for TKruzze and remove the needless clutter.
Regardless, please read the FAQ in the main thread before posting here since your answer is most likely already there.
Subscribe here if you have questions or would like to help those who have questions, or, you may simply subscribe to the main thread if you would only like notifications when TKruzze bumps the thread with a release post and want to avoid the stream of discussion here.
Thanks! Have fun, and help each other!

There is an excellent help team in here but feel free to @ mention me if something needs to be brought to my attention.27
I'm working on something new and cool that you will probably like.
