Question - Is this project active?

[sandeepbhutani304]

Hi @amit-sharma ,
This is a very good piece of work. I have simple question:

• Is research and development of this still active? Last update to repo was 8 months ago.

• Are we supposed to use it for business? Or this is just a research library? Should we go ahead, use this library and build some user friendly product out of it?

yes this is an active project. We took some time to think about major API changes for handling CATE and other usecases. We will be implementing them in the next few months.
