Question

I was following last weeks several TheHive issues which were also affecting us. I was wondering why these issues that seemed criticals were not really taken into account and, at least, linked to a milestone. Indeed, TheHive project is characterized for many years by the great reactivity of the team to tackle every problems.

Looking for something in the documentation, I finally came upon the announcement that TheHive 5 was available.

My first reaction was "Wow, we barely finished the painful migration from TheHive 3 to TheHive 4 that a new major version is once again available". And I did not see this one coming.

I wanted to understand what this new version was but couldn't find anything on TheHive project's github. It's finally on Strangebee website that it became clear TheHive 5 was not anymore opensource. I also found on Discord this link explaining the new model adopted by Strangebee.

My questions are simple : what is the future of TheHive 4 ? Has it reached its end-of-life ? Will it be still maintained or totally abandoned for the benefit of TheHive 5 ?

The answer to these questions will set our level of investment in the following weeks regarding our deployment. We are using TheHive for many years now and put a lot of energy to integrate it with the other tools we use in our organization. I know that a lot of work has been done by TheHive project's team but the community also helped a lot to improve this software. I am clearly not against a paying model (with services, support or extra-features for example) but strongly believe in the benefit of keeping an opensource model. Unfortunately, it does not seems to be the orientation of the project.

I'm sorry to hear that. TheHive4 is a great product. I will try TheHive5 too.
