project status

Sorry for removed template, but what is project status? Abandoned? We want upgrade plugin for babel-minify, but looks here a lot of issues and no updates/fixes. Is it worth spending time?

Seems to be abandoned since last year, as far as I can tell. There have been a few comments from potential contributors about giving up waiting, and switching to Terser.

It seems to compress better, too — especially given the various optimisations that need disabling for babel/minify to give anything close to correct output.

A shame, given the integration with the Babel framework remains appealing if some of the compression and compliance issues can be ironed out.

Friendly ping, We want to clarify the status of the project to continue maintain the webpack plugin

A shame if this is really dead, the last publish was 5 months ago

Terser is great, but babel-minify has its pluses too.

I still use at least a couple of the transforms (they are cool for even better pre-terser optimizations) and don't have any problems except #973
