I realize this is a bit late, but ABE is not unmaintained. It is based on an older version of ABP, yes, but it is under active development.
Last commit was in May, and besides, the nature of the product (single purpose app) is that it won't have a lot in the way of code changes aside from the odd bug fix. It doesn't need any other feature.
Most of the busywork is being handled in the block lists, and ABP and ABE use the same source (EasyList and others)
It's not actively developed, but not abandoned either, if you judge by the closing of issues in the dedicated repository. It's also my file manager of choice (minimalist UI but reasonably featured).
There's been maintenance commits regularly (2 days ago, 20 days ago, etc) and the project itself is stable. So while there's been no new features added, I don't see why that would be necessary if it works well as is.
What makes it "abandomware"? It has commits as of 19 days ago and a release three months ago. Pretty sure Otwell continues to update and is a stripped down version of a very active framework.
There have been 2 commits about "compilation improvements" this year after 3 years of inactivity. I like the idea of the project, but whether the roadmap will get to AP support... hopefully.
Also a happy andOTP user. Initially I thought you were being impatient because no updates for a few months isn't necessarily bad, but I see that the project itself has been updated to reflect that it is not being maintained by its creator. Thanks for the heads up.
Looking at Aegis, it appears to support importing from andOTP
Yes, the project is still alive and well! It also powers our very alive commercial service, Write.as, which has most of my attention. The open source project is just moving at a one-maintainer pace because it only has one maintainer :)
There will definitely be future releases, especially once we get through a roadblock with the tool we use to cross-compile WriteFreely [0]. Otherwise, anyone who wants to see the project move faster is more than welcome to contribute, especially with tasks like code review, to help clear out those PRs [1].
It's got commits from 2 months ago, I keep a few projects that go a few months at a time without activity. I wouldn't say it's abandoned, though maybe the devs aren't finding the time for it (or they're preparing some big update that isn't quite ready yet).
I like the way this sounds, but... is the project still alive? There haven't been any commits to the main branch since July, and the last release was over a year ago.
In this case, the code is still maintained and at least some pull requests are being processed (I haven't checked in detail). The only thing is that there hasn't been an official release for some time.
