No, it isn’t dead, but most of my time working on it consists of:
- Helping people find lost licenses
- Helping people find their license because it got blocked as spam
- Debugging issues that can’t seem to be reproduced
- Working on the next big version, specifically related to the TLS layer and shared SSL session reuse between the control and data connection. Currently the Python ecosystem doesn’t have an option for this, so I’ve spent the past two years building a set of cryptography packages from the ground-up for Python to allow me to provide proper TLS (SSL) support, with session reuse, proper certificate validation, etc.
I’m also planning on doing some updates to improve performance for slow FTP connections. Overall it is pretty stable, but unfortunately there are enough support emails that I don’t always get to all of them, and I have to prioritize, otherwise I’d spend all available time emailing, and none actually moving forward.
If you send me another email about your issue, people who are more persistent tend to be more likely to get a response. I feel bad that is the way it is, but unfortunately there are only so many hours in the day, and my family and full-time work have to take priority.
