Is this project dead?

Open Andrew-web-coder opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

So, I was using "karma-typescript" npm package, but that project seems to be dead, because it is not compatible with TypeScript 5, but now it looks like this "karma" project is dead, too. Is that so? That would be a sad news.

Unfortunately looks like it. The README just got updated with a deprecation notice

We won't add new features. But still consider important fixes to keep it in a maintenance state. Of course the community can still contribute more help.

It is clear that this is a large-scale project and someone would need to work full-time on it in order to successfully develop it. If no company is ready to sponsor, then the end of the project is understandable. I don't know if anyone will be able to dedicate so much of their free time to dig into the code and be able to make a valuable contribution.

Sorry to hear this news, but is there a clear plan on the regular security fix release in the future? I can see that the dependabot is still doing a great job remedying issues like #3863 but no one reviews it and possibly releases a new version.
