It is unclear, assuming I could generate an update, if a release could or would be made but the situation is chicken and egg.
I believe it is only a matter of time before some other library or protocol being retired will kill Fritzing if we can’t make updates. This has already happened on Windows 7, automatic up date hasn’t worked for around a year now because the protocol Win7 is using is no longer supported by github.
Without being able to arrange a new release (which in turn requires some progress to release) Fritzing will die if by nothing else than the interfaces it depends on becoming obsolete and no longer supported. I am (and have been for several years) working on changing that but progress is slow and as far as I am aware no one else is interested in helping. The development environment other than on linux is very difficult to bring up and very poorly documented. My experience over the last several years is that there is interest in talking but no apparent action towards doing anything practical. At this point discussion has died off for a number of weeks with no apparent forward progress of a tangible nature (other than the ongoing project to convert Fritzing to Javascript which was proceeding before that discussion started).
