Active Development? #1207

Closed warllo54 closed 4 years ago

warllo54 commented 6 years ago

I noticed it's been awhile since a new version was released. I was wondering if this project is still active and if new features will be added?

saulhuerta commented 6 years ago

Well, there are people active and trying to help to others.

I think the project is alive.

Regards

Unfortunately there has been no new version for over 1 year. The last version 2.5 was released in April 2017.

Without further development, as the distros get updated it will be just a matter of time before Kimchi stop working, as it is already happening with Ubuntu.

I believe most of the active developers in this project were from IBM and they probably have other priorities or left the company. It's a shame. It's a great project with a lot of potential and filling a gap in the market. There isn't many lightweight web GUI's for KVM.

It would be good to hear an update from the developers. Maybe @alinefm can give us some news?

At the moment I'm testing XCP-ng as an alternative to Kimchi/KVM. It's in active development and seems more mature than Kimchi.

Hello everyone!

I know there has been a long time without a new Kimchi release. That happened because IBM stopped sponsoring Kimchi at the beginning of 2017 and after that, I started a new job and moved to a new country. I needed some time to reorganize myself and get proper attention back to Kimchi. Sorry about that.

But, I will do all I can to keep the project and the community alive. I've just accepted some PRs (and others need to be rebased in order to get accepted) and I am working on make Wok and Kimchi python3 compatible and allow Kimchi to connect to a external libvirt URL rather than the one in which Kimchi is installed. These will be the main features of next Kimchi release.

Hi Aline,

That's great news! Welcome back. Hope you are settle on your new life.

I hope once you kick start the development process we can get more people involved in the project whatever way they can.
