Hi, Is syslinux still under active development? I do not see any new commit in git repo for about a year. -- Piotr.

My assumption is developers and potential developers are busy with other projects, like sub-systems of the Linux kernel or GRUB. For instance there is an heavy traffic here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/log/ and also there: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2018-10/threads.html This is just a guess from an end user, though. Best regards, Didier
