Title: Current state of Armory?
Post by: KurtB on October 20, 2020, 12:41:13 AM
I am looking at the GitHub repo and there hasn't been any update since 2018.

What is the state of the project? Is this still maintained?

What would be a good alternative?

Great, thanks! Do you plan another release anytime soon?

Also, don't forget to add the donation address.

Currently I'm working on the py3 migration. The dev branch only runs on py3 now, but that has introduced a bunch of regressions. I have to fix those before moving on to the Qt5 migration. At a glance, that part is fairly straight forward though. Most of the migration work is an opportunity to move a bunch of sensitive code (wallet crypto and the like) to C++ API. This separates the mission critical code from Python and the meshed in Qt stuff, and gives me better flexibility for test coverage.

I'm currently moving all the wallet backup code over. That's the last major piece of code that needs reworked into the API before I can look at the Qt5 migration and pushing out some test builds.
