Recently, I’ve more and more come to the conclusion that Grav is dead - substantial development from the Project Lead has not been seen for months now, so the obvious fact that development has stalled can IMHO no longer be disregarded.
I cannot speculate about the reasons here - anyone who knows something more is invited to share that knowledge.
In addition, at the same time, more and more plugins and themes are being abandoned (see @bleutzinn 's last post), and formerly active experts here in the forum, e.g. @pamtbaau, have vanished.
In any case, this will have an impact on all Grav Users, not immediately now, but in the long run.
This is a sad situation and a pity, Grav has been by far my favorite CMS of all I had to deal with so far.
So, what to do now ?
I for myself have lately been investigating a conversion/port of my Grav Site to a static Site, mostly for other reasons (see this Blog post), and now, this seems to make even more sense.
So, currently, I’m checking several options on how to proceed, the most promising of them is the migration to Hugo, which looks good, so far, I have already managed to automatically convert my Blog posts so they work with Hugo with minimal manual adjustment.
Of course, there is still work to be done, mostly related to plugin functionality.
If anyone else here is interested how that will proceed (including some scripts that ease the job), I’ll eventually post here.
I hope you’re wrong. But I have the same suspicions. If Grav is going to retire, then it would be nice to know in advance so I can migrate. I bought quite some premium plugins in support of Grav, which makes it double sad.
rhukster fixed an issue on GitHub - getgrav/grav: Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony two weeks ago, isn’t this a good sign?
well, correct, but if you take a closer look, that was just the merge of a one-line pull request, nothing substantial 
.
I guess @rhuk is totally busy with other things, maybe he’ll be back later, but I doubt.
all other relevant contributors have stopped their work completely long ago.
There’s just no major issues right now. I’m working on client projects but still fixing things in Grav and plugins as they come up. The good thing is that i’m reassured everyday I use Grav for real-world projects, that it’s working well, and is fast and stable. There’s really nothing major required at this point to address issues or shortcomings. A stable and reliable platform is really the best thing you can hope for in a CMS 
wow, a clear statement from the project lead - thanks @rhuk .
so, I guess this topic can be closed…
That’s all I needed to hear! 
I’m happy about that! Also because I plan to buy the premium Grav theme when I have time to transition to it.
Thanks for the information, I agree that, if everything is going well and there is no need for new features at the moment, no changes are necessary. 
Greetings and thanks.
Please don’t give me any more scares like this. This world is full of rush and bloated features. Projects like this one are needed.
Thanks!
