Will development of CodeIgniter 3 continue? Or who will continue it?

Hi,

CodeIgniter 3 are an Open Source project developed by the community. If you need something done, you need to pull up your sleeves and do it yourself. :-)

As it currently stands there are only one main developer named narfbg, you can see contributors here. There are still Pull Request being done on Github, so there are still ideas by the community on what to fix. Last commit to the project was 13 days ago. If the community want it to be alive; the community needs to develop/maintain it.

Currently there are more developers getting involved in CodeIgniter 4, as it's the framework of the future. CodeIgniter 3 core are getting old and can't compete in the real world. There have never been this much activity regarding CodeIgniter in the forum since I joined in Aug 2017, so the hype for CodeIgniter 4 are real.

I don't remember if narfbg have giving and end-of-live statement when he are done with CodeIgniter 3. And at this time there are no end-of-life support for bugs and security fixes by the Foundation. But the project will live on as long as the community are working on it.
