is flowblade abandoned?
last release was 1 year ago and I see 59 unresolved issues here on github
Nope! The project is still active.
The lead developer takes a break from the project every once in a while. If you look at the README.md file, you'll see this note:
"PROJECT ON BREAK I'm looking forward to continue development some time in the future, but there will not be updates for the next few months."
This is just a normal part of the project's cadence.
Perhaps a second in command could make a minor release update with https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/pulls
lots of commits lately, looking forward for a release before next debian freeze (january 2023)

So the project is still active ? is a real question.
@jep-fa I believe it is still active, yes. Only @jliljebl can answer authoritatively though.
Even though I like Flowblade a lot, I have switched to https://www.shotcut.org/ since here maintenance is not what it was. Hope to return when the project is more alive again.
but MLT 7 seems unsupported yet , when today 7.14 was released , anyway git diff to last tag have about 600 commits , maybe a new tag at least at pre release would be nice
Yes a lot of commits recently, far from dead...
Project is coming fully back now with resumed communications on Issues etc. I decided to just do patches until I have 2.10 release because it turned out that I was really unable to know when I would able to release, and frankly got a bit frustrated.
Moving on I have a new set of practices like always working on branches, and dropping doing .deb packages that will prevent dropping down in this hole again. 2.10 coming in few weeks after I have gone through the issues and done a bit more testing.
