OfflineIMAP
Is offlineimap3 maintained? Will it be?
Hi!
My impression is that this project is severely undermaintained, e.g. from seeing these unfixed issues:
- #205
- #206
- #222
- #227
Could you please clarify the current status and future or non-future of this project?

Indeed, a lot has happened, but no release. As far as I can see current version is partially broken on Python 3.12.
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/pull/225
Would be a good addition to this list for better pep517 support.
I have been out for 12 years, don't ask me. 🤷♂️
Wouldn't it be easy to merge the open PRs and just do a release?
Hello,
I am very sorry that I cannot devote more time to the project. I am currently finishing my PhD, in addition to my job, and I hardly have time for anything.
I have included the two pull requests. I don't think the third one is correct, and I need to review it when I have more time. With this, I will generate the new release.

Thank you. A mere release would help a lot of people.
I will update the offlineimap/__init__.py file, the pyproject.toml file and the Changelog.md file with the new version.

No, I am not merging random MR without being familiar with a code base and the proposed code. Also, when I release something, I take on quite some responsibility that it actually works. I don't want to empty people's INBOXes by accident 😜.
Also, I have formally withdrawn from the project many years ago and would not even have the permissions to do anything.
New version is up.
From now on, we will try to release new versions periodically, from time to time.

But you are here now ;-) And you have a lot of knowledge about the project.

For my part, you're welcome. I'm here for whatever you need.

Thank you, please create the tag as well. I want to update the FreeBSD port.

Done. Thanks.
@thekix thanks for the release! I don't see it on PyPI yet — could you publish it to PyPI as well please? (Issue #219 is related.)
@thekix I have updated the FreeBSD port yesterday which was approved by @derekschrock . Thank you guys!

The merge to 2025Q4 depended on 8.0.0-78. See the bug (290648) for possible fix.
