Plugin is Abandoned

Hi all,

As you can see on the Plugin Directory listing, the last update for this Plugin was 12 months ago and the last code commits on the GitHub repo. were made last August.

@lolzim and I have been unable to contact @markcheret for many months, and as a result we are no longer working on the Plugin. As things currently stand, this Plugin is no longer under active development, and footnotes is abandoned.

What does this mean for footnotes users? Technically, nothing. The Plugin will continue to work just the same for everyone. Users can continue to post in the Support Forums with any issues they may be having, and may receive support from other members of the community.

However, as the Plugin is no longer being worked on, there will be no bug fixes or new features added. Whilst we do not currently know of any security issues with the Plugin, in the event that one is later discovered there will be no fixes provided. Users who continue to use the Plugin do so at their own risk (although this Plugin has always been provided with no warranty, so in some respects this has always been the case).

As @markcheret is the only person with access to the SVN repository, if anybody would like to take up development of the Plugin themselves they will have to fork it and publish their own version. The latest version of the codebase is available on GitHub here, or there is the branch for the incomplete major rewrite of the Plugin (along with an ongoing pull request and various Issues detailing our development plans).

For users who wish to replace this Plugin with another, there are numerous other such Plugins available on the WP Plugin Directory – we do not recommend any one in particular.
