I contacted them last week about this.
They said that they are not ready to announce a new release, nor to announce what will be in it.
I told them that the natives are restless. They do not appear to be impressed...
Being that reticent, they must have broken something or lost a key developer who left them in the lurch.
Oh, well, fortunately, what is currently running is good enough for what I do, but it is getting pretty dated.

I agree, something has been off for quite some time.
Either they lost some key developers, or they had disaster of some kind that involved losing a good chunk of source code and now they've had to re-build everything from scratch. There really isn't much else that would explain the apparent complete work stoppage over the past few years.
I mean... no bugfixes or point updates in this long?
Take a look at S3D-Chris's post from APRIL 2019 about the release of 4.1.2:
