is hyperscan abandoned?

Seeing that there have been no new commits since Apr 2023 is it safe to assume that Hyperscan has been abandoned?

Funny, I was just about to create the same issue :) I was recently pointed to Accelerate Snort Performance with Hyperscan and Intel Xeon Processors on Public Clouds document via vectorscan repository, where they state in section 2.2 that they are changing the license to proprietary since version 5.5 onward. I am very interested about the answer and its implications to various Linux distributions, especially since I'm responsible for maintaining this package in Gentoo.

There's a great fork called vectorscan maintained by @markos over at @VectorCamp: https://github.com/VectorCamp/vectorscan

It has been created after contributions to introduce multi-arch support have been ignored. It's quite active, the last release was just this week.

It introduces multi-arch support and has many improvements, but drops windows and 32-bit support. They were closely tracking upstream until the license change recently.

The new version of Hyperycan is now 5.6.1 https://blog.csdn.net/weixin_37097605/article/details/130143527

An open source version of the library is available at https://github.com/intel/hyperscan. Intel has an upgraded library version that is available through your Intel sales representative.

How do I reach an Intel sales representative on GitHub? 🤡
