Goldendict: Please, make a release

[vitlav]

Please, make a next release.

[AdKiller]

seriously, it's been about 5 years? since the last release, is this the longest release candidate in history?!

Would it be possible to have v1.6.0 released around New Year? I think we have v1.5.0 long enough already. Thanks!

Yet is 2020, and still no new release...
Seems are still actively developing. Hopes could release soon.

The last official binary release for Windows was in 2010, I just cannot understand what the owners of this project have in mind.

It is a monumental pity that the best dictionary software in the world is in this situation...

yeah it's sad that the development is abandoned. luckily Windows 10 still hasn't broken the last version of GoldenDict which is good enough.

What about forking the project and continuing development (with releases!) under the new name? As an example with the same reason - gogs was forked by community into gitea.

@AdKiller , extremely sad, man. It is almost a crime...

@sikmir , it is a great idea! I don't have the expertise to create this side project but I would love to see that.

It's not abandoned. New commits are made regularly. The main developer @Abs62 is still here, and he helped me to solve several problems very fast. Yes, development is not active, there aren't new features, it's more in supporting phase but is definitely not abandoned.

Linux users have access to recent releases, the only problem is Windows and macOS. If you can compile binaries for Win/Mac and release them on Wiki then it will be very helpful.

Good news. But you don't make releases. Please, increment version and set tag to the release commit.
