Express: Development On Hold?

Created on 13 Dec 2015  路  9Comments  路  Source: expressjs/express

I've not noticed any updates to this repo in awhile, any reasons to this? I haven't seen any posts about it either, though I've noticed some contributors/owners replying to issues. No big deal, just wondering.

Express is in active development. In particular, unlike the Express of old, a lot of Express code lives in dependency modules, with most work occurring there. For example, the entire router of Express has been extracted into it's own module, so the main source of activity for Express no longer even lives in this repository.

I hope that helps; Express is made up of about 50 repositories, and so activity will be spread across them, an no longer concentrated here. There is only so much activity that can be done on a small repository.

Is there a central place that has a list of all of those repositories?

On GitHub, we have them split into three organizations: expressjs, pillarjs, and jshttp. General feedback can always be provided at [email protected]

Thanks for the info, looking forward to 5.x :+1:.

So are we all :) Our big ticket items are out of the box TypeScript bindings, HTTP/2 support, and Promise support in the middleware model.

TypeScript bindings and Promise support are two of the reason I can't wait to use 5.x. Great work from the express team and contributors.

@dougwilson - can you please elaborate on this: For example, the entire router of Express has been extracted into it's own module? Can't seem to find anything like that, and still fighting with Router.

He was talking about express 5.x, which has the router here.
