Is CodeIgniter development dead?

[quote author="Vheissu" date="1368583278"]I actually emailed Ellislab and asked some straightforward questions and got answers to all of them within 24 hours which I posted on my blog here in this post: http://ilikekillnerds.com/2013/05/the-si...explained/

Basically, no, Codeigniter is far from dead and it is still a top priority for them as is ExpressionEngine which they are currently in the process of moving over to use the latest version of Codeigniter. They point out that just because there isn't new versions every few weeks doesn't mean it's dead and it's a good point.

Not completely insightful, but does address a few unknowns.[/quote]

In your blog post you mention no one's emailed Ellis Lab but that isn't true. I've emailed them 3 times back and forth since December about CI 3.0. The single biggest thing Ellis Lab has done to hurt the framework is not publicly discuss their intentions for it for such long stretches of time. If you want to know whats going on with the framework who do you ask? I couldn't find anyone to ask, I just had to email Ellis Lab General support.
