State of the package and security updates

[ppipada]

Hi,

Given that this question has come up in multiple forums (mostly because last commit is in 2021), can you please clarify the following:

• Do you see this package as functionally complete?
• Do you intend to archive or make this repo as read only with no further commits?
• Do you need help in maintaining this package and/or some parts of it (security patches, etc).

We have been using gobwas/ws with great success in our project. Thank you so much fro a great library.

Interested in this and too.

I'm initiating a project and looking for alternatives to gorilla websocket and this lib interested me.

Interesting that this pops up now - I am also looking for an alternative for gorilla websocket and I found this article: https://www.druva.com/blog/websockets--scale-at-fractional-footprint-in-go

Regarding gobwas/ws, it claims:

It is also actively maintained and receives regular updates, security, and bug fixes.

The article is dated March 28, 2023 (yesterday), so I wonder what library the author is referring to.

Hi everyone, thanks for bringing the attention to the project.

Yesterday I had a chat with @gobwas and he approved my intention to maintain the project.

I'm gonna start this weekend. So, you can treat my comment as "project is and will be alive".

Thanks.

Good to know - I also read on reddit and other channels that quite a lot of people like the package and continue to use it.

It's very stable and specification is stable too. We're using it in a big project and never had troubles with it.

Thanks @cristaloleg.

We are also using it at a large enough scale and never had any issues.
