Still alive?

[tnup]

Is this project still alive?

The graph api required is ^1.5, but the actual current version is already at 2.13.

I am currently using the project in some of my projects, but might have to concider leaving / changing it. Are there alternatives?

I would assume no. I was one of the original "owners" of this project back a few years ago. The company I worked for (Root Inc.) merged with another company, Accenture. I left shortly after that.

Priorities obviously changed after being merged, and Accenture is very much a "closed-source" company. Accenture also had their own authentication system, which made internal projects that were using this repo not relevant.

I would have maintained it in my fork, but:

1. As a former employee (and with signed contracts and such), I didn't want Accenture coming after me "doing work" they technically had legal ownership of (even though it was open-source, I wasn't going to chance that).
2. My personal projects / current full time work didn't really make use of this either, and thus I haven't kept up.

I have still used Laravel with personal projects / full time work and though my knowledge of the details of this repo are not as good as they were, bumping to 2.13 shouldn't be too much of an issue. Browsing through some of the forks, that seems to be all of what people are mostly doing.

As a former maintainer, sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. This was a cool project that became moderately successful for so many, and it is a shame to see it (most likely) not alive. For those part of the old Root Inc. org reading this, I mean no disrespect. I completely understand that priorities changed, which as you all know, is one of the reasons why I left.
