Andy is still actively working on Pi-Star. If you'd like to get to know Andy you can listen to a good interview here:

And he shows up on the Pi-Star multi-reflector available from all modes, XLX reflectors, BM 31672....:

Thats not only laughable but flat out BS :)

Pi-Star work never stops - it might get slow, VERY slow when the work that pays my bills sucks up all my time, but its not something I will give up on easily.

I've had a long standing issue with screen readers for users with limited sight having LOTS of issues with the dashboard / config - I'm currently pushing a LOT of changes to fix those.

3.x is not getting new features - but is getting the same improvements.
4.x is in the same state, no new features but is getting basic life-support.
4.1 is getting the new stuff its still in RC due to a logging issue I just have not had time to patch *yet*

Also also if you want the answer from the horses mouth my e-mail address is splattered on the dashboard page, so you are always welcome to come ask me directly, rather than just wait for me on the reflector etc...

Joking aside if I was to actually have an interest in giving up on the project - I wouldn't be shy about it, sure it drives me insane some times, it often presents me with problems that look close to unsolvable - but thats part of the enjoyment of it.

This is a VERY busy time of year for me, so updates to Pi-Star tend to be slow - and this year has been crazy from end to end so far - I hope 2020 wont be quite this crazy, and I take it on the chin that I need to give you all some kind of roadmap - but honestly I've avoided that because I am so busy and I cant be sure I can stick to it.
