Is iTerm2 Still Maintained?

2 points by tkiolp4 ↗ HN
iTerm2 is my main terminal on macOS, but the last release was on Nov. 2020. Do you know if they are still working on it? What other alternatives do you recommend for macOS (except Hyper)?

I’ve had a lot of memory leak problems with it recently that I’ve never had before
You might try the beta, it’s changelog references fixing memory leaks
Still maintained? It has the most frequent and solid beta releases (for 3.5) than any other major project I've seen! And those betas are rock solid, been running them for 2+ years now. Latest was a couple of months ago or so.
Oh gosh. I took a look at their News page on https://iterm2.com/news.html, and there the latest news is from 2020. Thanks for the info!
Yeah, not sure why they don't advertise the dev releases more.

To get a feel of what's in then (in short: tons of stuff, including hardware acceleration with Metal) check here:

https://iterm2.com/downloads.html

under Test Releases, and click "Show Changelog" to see the changelog for the latest 3.5beta7, and "Show Older Versions"to see the changelogs for all 3.5 betas and several 3.4.5 and 3.4.4 betas (all of those released after 2020).

I've used the latest beta as it lands every time (you can enable the "dev release train" somewhere), and didn't have any problems!
