At the moment, all the plutus-apps packages is maintained, meaning that we keep maintaining them so that they work with the new Cardano eras. We are discussing the roadmap internally and will provide more clarity as soon as a decision is taken.

We will also try to be more open in a near future, with more open discussions with the community, we just need a bit more time to set things up.

Could you provide some info about plutus-apps for the new node version 8.1.1? cardano-wallet made a release a couple of days ago for the new version. Since plutus-apps uses cardano-wallet for bumping node dependency, could this be updated soon?

We were waiting for it to do the upgrade, so yes, it's in the pipeline. I can't give an ETA but some of our product needs this upgrade, so it should be done in a "near future".
