From 6f38af15828e07f0186109a89b7aa57f54101cfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Breitmoser Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2021 11:27:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add note about maintenance mode to readme Both @dschuermann and myself no longer spend a lot of time on this project. Here's a brief summary of a blog post we never wrote: * All of OpenKeychain's UI is an anti-feature. * If the user is doing anything in OpenKeychain's UI, OpenPGP is still doing it wrong. * OpenKeychain shouldn't be an app, it should be a library. * Changing OpenKeychain into a library is more work than we are motivated to do in our free time. --- README.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 86fac8808..9f7809e3e 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ +**WARNING: This software is no longer actively developed.** +We will still apply security fixes where reported, and do basic maintenance work, but no new features or will be worked on. +We will try to consider and merge contributions where possible. + # OpenKeychain (for Android) OpenKeychain is an OpenPGP implementation for Android.
