TuxGuitar development

Post by hdr »

Hi,
does anyone know if TuxGuitar is still being developed? The "news" on the website show: TuxGuitar 1.5 has been released - 2018-02-02
That's almost five years ago.
There is not a single feature request that has been handled: https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxguitar/feature-requests/

OS: Debian 10 DAW: Ardour 6.2

The default download version from sourceforge is 1.5.2, but version 1.5.6 is available (updated 4/28/2022) if you look at the files section. This is the version I have been using for a few months.

The most recent commit is dated 2022-06-01: I'd say it is still maintained.

Has anybody any ideas which Tux Guitar would be best to use/what is difference? I want to have my own custom tunings in TuxGuitar presets, and because that is hard coded, I will be building my own TG anyway, so I can pick official or fork.
