I wonder about this too, where is the git history for this version
1.0? The lutris maintainer and I are maintaining a fork of osmose and
have released version 0.9.97 (latest upstream was 0.9.96) with Qt5
support and some bug fixes. Is there another new upstream that we
missed, or did you just label your own version with some patches as
1.0?
I remember having wrote to you some months ago to mention this lutris
fork that could be considered as the new upstream/maintenance version,
unless somebody really interested in upstream development takes over
(on the Lutris side we only intend to do maintenance releases, mostly
to make it more distribution friendly).
