Is the new Armory release that will work on Ubuntu 20.04 coming anytime soon?

[hashtag]

I just updated to 20.04 because the previous version was no longer getting security updates and was extremely unpleasantly surprised that Armory doesn't work anymore!
I read the 2 threads here about Ubuntu dropping py2 as the reason, but the work around seems too difficult for a newbie, and running in VM is not ideal either. I read that this will be fixed in the new release but when is it coming? Even rough estimation would be appreciated so I can know if I can wait or try to make the workaround setup.

WIP (tm)

well yes, but how is it looking, in matter of days, months, years?

[goatpig]

it mostly runs in py3 atm, have to clean some stuff up and do the qt5 conversion

Sounds like days to months to me then.

I guess I'll pull out the VM

Is there something we can subscribe to, so we can understand when the new version is released?

hmmm, maybe you can get notifications about updates (or version tags) at github.com/goatpig/bitcoinarmory (you'd need to sign up to github I guess)


really, you're already asking in the right place: goatpig is the main dev for Armory, and this sub is where all the public discourse about Armory happens.

What Carlton said. You can try and give the dev branch a spin once in a while if you're adventurous. That aside, you'd have to guess from the commit description or ask me directly. I can't really give you ETAs, I don't work on Armory all day. It's hard to predict how much time I have to work on it atm.
