Haxe development doesn’t seem very active: the last minor release, 4.2.5, was 13 months ago. The last major release, 4.2.0, was two years ago.

Even if Haxe was effectively feature complete, I would expect maintenance for bug fixes and keeping up to date with evolving platforms and backends, especially because Haxe supports so many targets.

Haxe’s development is fairly active. You can see 41 PRs were merged, an additional 13 more were opened and 125 issues were closed in the last month: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/pulse/monthly

The nightly builds should probably be promoted to patch releases more often though.

I’m glad to hear that. I had wondered whether most Haxe users used the nightly releases. That might be more common for projects that have a few main contributors: they fix issues blocking them and use their own builds without the overhead making new public releases.
