Re^4: State of the GUI widget art?

And then what happened?

... what? Just in case that's not a troll but your version of "so what?":

Citrus Perl 5.16.3 with Wx 0.9918 was released in April 2013, almost 1.5 years ago. Perl 5.16 is no longer officially supported by P5P. Wx has had three releases since then. In the past 1.5 years, the Citrus Perl support newsgroup has seen ~10 posts.

Based on this info, Citrus Perl (apparently along with the Wx PPM repository and the Cava Packager) looks unmaintained and - even though I really like the idea of Citrus & Cava - I wouldn't use it. Rather I would install the latest Wx into a local Perl instead.

Wx has had three releases since then. In the past 1.5 years...looks unmaintained Who do you think released those versions of Wx? Its the same one guy you know :) Whether it looks "unmaintained" or not, doesn't negate its usefullness :) You can contact me if you are interested in commercial support or work / http://www.znix.com/donations/ Rather I would install the latest Wx into a local Perl instead. Cheers :) Perl 5.16 is no longer officially supported by P5P. Except that it is officially supported (: not "officially" :) perlpolicy To the best of our ability, we will provide "critical" security patches / releases for any major version of Perl whose 5.x.0 release was within the past three years. Its everything you could expect or want from a maintenance release :)	[reply]
