Is Dendrite being actively developed?

Hi, just a quick question.
Is Dendrite still being actively developed?

Thanks.

Development is currently best effort, since Dendrite is in maintenance mode. This may change in the (hopefully) near future.

Other than that, if I find the time and will to work on it, I'll do.

Thanks @S7evinK , would you be able to elaborate a little bit more on that ? I may have missed an important news so, I always had thought that Dendrite would be the future and replace eventually Matrix.. many thanks

The other major change is that we’ve had no choice but pause development on the majority of the core team’s next-generation Matrix projects. We had high hopes of being able to secure dedicated funding for Third Room (especially after the awesome Tech Preview 2: Creator Update in June), but the interested parties did not come through, and the team has now disbanded. Meanwhile, P2P Matrix and Low Bandwidth Matrix is on hiatus until there’s dedicated funding - and Account Portability work is also temporarily paused in favour of commercial Element work, despite the fantastic progress made recently with Pseudo IDs (MSC4014) and Cryptographic identifiers (MSC4080). Given P2P Matrix and Account Portability were the main projects driving Dendrite development recently, this may also cause a slow-down in Dendrite development, although Dendrite itself will still be maintained.
