Last year we released a legacy migration guide for converting legacy gadgets to gadgets.* by hand. At the time, we promised a migration tool to help perform these migrations automatically.
Today, I’m happy to announce the legacy gadget migration tool, which will convert existing XML and JavaScript code to use the gadgets.* API. The tool will accept raw XML and JavaScript to convert, or a publicly visible URL, read the code, and replace references to the legacy API with their gadgets.* equivalents. In the rare case where a migration cannot be automatically performed, it will output per-line warnings indicating what changes developers must make by hand, along with a relevant link to the migration guide.
Of course, please test migrated code before deploying to all of your users.
If you have any questions, please inquire in the iGoogle Developer Forum.

The deprecation of inlined gadgets which began in November 2007 is ready to enter its final phase. Over the next 30 days, we will be disabling the remaining inlined gadgets on iGoogle, starting immediately with those that are broken or have zero users. If you’d like operation of your gadget to continue, please follow the instructions in the gadgets.* migration guide.
If you have any questions on the deprecation, please visit the iGoogle Developer Forum.
