Is this project no longer maintained?

[mcarans]

This is an impressive project unmatched by any other Python library currently available. Unfortunately, it seems like there have been no updates for a long time. Is the project no longer maintained?

It doesn't work with Numpy > 2.0.

I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'd say this project is no longer being maintained given that no updates have been made in 5 years. That being said, it's always encouraged to fork works like this and maintain them yourself if you have the willingness and the time.

I commented on another issue about this @raffaem (https://github.com/chrislit/abydos/issues/287#issuecomment-2677762157). You can also do this for NINF's (changing them with inf and changing all usages in the project with -np.inf) but I suggest cloning the most recent branch and changing np.float_ occurrences to np.float64. If you do not want to bother, as I have mentioned in the comment again, you can pull my fork. It should work with numpy>2.0 and python>=3.10
