Upstream would probably say yes, but they might chose to release a 2.0.1 instead. > PS: I wonder if having a test version 4 years old that is clearly not > moving at all and not bug fixed really worth to have FWIW, I have the beta version installed on Cygwin because I did need the address chain feature once. There is no indication that the two bugfixes to the 1.7.x releases are also present in the 2.0.x beta branch, so the absence of new releases probably just means that development has stalled (upstream continues to ask for "patience" with respect to feature requests), not that bugfixes are languishing. But I haven't checked in much detail which code the last to fixes touch.
