Does anyone know why the V3.6 project stopped?
Thanks!

Consider It may not have "stopped" just run out of costly public secured publishing permissions, (The last published version was before the latest changes and at a time coinciding with periodic licensing changes.)
It is an unpaid project developed with costs in One persons spare time.

Without software certificates the common platform "Windows" imposes DEFENDER and thus taints free publishing giving such non certified applications a bad name often as Viral or "Unwanted". (something I see all to often with long time legitimate software)

last time I looked the cost of a Certificate was about $500 #2265 (comment)
there are some economic options but $300 is still a lot
1 Year @ $299.99 per year [normally $489.00 You Save $189.01 (39%)]
again by shop around you may get it down to nearer $200 but that's again $200 more than no income.

Yes, but this is just a pre-release for testing.
