Is this repo still maintained? Friendly fork? #134

Closed twpayne closed 1 year ago

twpayne commented 1 year ago

Thank you for this code. I'm a very happy user of sergi/go-diff, although I have to pin my use of the module to the latest working version, i.e. v1.1.0.

Is this repo still maintained? There are many open issues with no response, the most recent tagged version (v1.2.0) has been broken (#123) for a year and half, and there have been no commits to master for a similar time period. There are many pull requests that have had no response.

Under the terms of sergi/go-diff's MIT license, I propose to friendly fork this repo, unless there is still an intent to work on this. Go needs a good diff library like this, and a friendly fork is one that is carefully designed to be easy to merge back into the original.

Let me know if there is still an intent to work on this valuable software, or if I should fork.

@twpayne It does seem like it is worth making a friendly fork so we continue maintaining this valuable project.

Given the MIT license, is it a typical practice to fork the project so that we save it and continue maintenance ?

I would be happy to be a contributor for maintenance and improvements.
