Project Activity:

Apart from routine maintenance there has been some activity aiming to reduce our dependency on the Google Closure library which has been deprecated.

Community Health:

While the users list activity is low we are seeing some user discussions made on GitHub in the form of issue comments, indicating a continued interest.

There was a discussion in Dev on attracting new blood to the user/dev base. A concern was raised that the source language, ActionScript 3, presents a barrier to newcomers. TypeScript was suggested as an alternative, but the work involved seems to be beyond our resources.
