No merge into master in the last 5 years, should we use development?
-
Basically the title. According to github nothing has been merged to master in the last 5 years. Can anybody speak to the stability of development?
I have three nodes running 2.4 alpha (created those in 2019, needed to use dev because of some rfm69 issues irrc), and my gateway recently died. I am creating a new gateway and I am wondering what the best course of action would be.
Thanks!

I guess that at best the project has 'stalled' and at worst it is abandoned.

@skywatch That's pretty sad to hear.... it's what got me into electronics/soldering. Are there any comparable projects that are seeing development?
-
@kiesel This is just my impression, nothing has been announced so it is guess work. But it took a week to get even one response to your question, and that says a lot.
Nothing comparable that I know of, but this all still works just as it always did and I have invested too much in hardware to leave it all and risk the same thing happening again.

@kiesel I would look into ZigBee and/or matter. It's an industry standard, so won't be abandoned any time soon. Or you can try ESPHome if you don't mind using WiFi as a carrier.

I found this if it is of interest (or not)...

Wow. Has it been 5 years?
I haven't really used development because master has been working for me. Just added some new NRF5 nodes a couple of weeks ago.

from my point of view, community is moving towards zigbee, lora and meshtastic

For me almost all I need is in Master. For some nice to haves I have some custom libraries, like a message and a presentation queue. The only wish I have is dual led support.
