I'm in the process of writing my first webapp, and thses days it's a bit strange seeing a popular framework not being updated (even if it's just for bugfixing) a few times a year.
It did not stop, it just did not get a release. I'm (very slowly unfortunately) in the process of fixing this by restructuring the github org to get trusted contributors to fix this and to make it easier to have multiple smaller releases instead of a huge one. There is always risk in pushing out releases with a lot of changes which is what would happen which is why I want to have people in place that can push releases without my help to fix things if they are regressing.
I would have done it over Christmas already but life keeps happening and this is something I rather not do without having an action plan :)
Very soon now though.
As everyone here knows, it's hard to write software when you don't feel enthused about the programming language.
He has been doing stuff with Rust in particular. Maybe there will be a "Rusty Flask" one day.

None of the 0.11 blockers are substantial, and 1.0 is mostly about having updated documentation. It just requires someone to actually finish them.
