Re: development stalled

[Étienne Beaulé]

Hello,

Don’t worry, there is still active development. I understand not having any 
recent stable updates is frustrating, and having a stable release made is a 
priority due to the length of time it has been. For now, we are holding off to 
fix a few problems before release.

In anticipation of the release, we had skipped numbers 65->80 of 2.19.x and 
started making a selection of features to include. The developers also want a 
new stable release just like you; we're working on it!
