Could you just tell us what modifications have been done to improve it? Because I can’t think of a single thing that’s going to make the situation any better. It’s still rearranging chairs for better feng shui on a sinking ship.
I’m looking at how it’s updated right now and it seems to be heavily fragmented. There is some sort of auto updater for macOS, which seems to be the best option right now, and I use the term best very loosely because it looks like there’s still patch lag on that. There’s also a supply chain weakness I’m seeing here for macOS and Linux, and Windows is even worse. This updater still doesn’t fix or solve the actual architectural problem.
You’re still relying on a small team to merge upstream patches, compile them on third party cloud servers, and push them out after a vulnerability is public. And I’m pretty twitchy about trusting an updater that pulls binaries from a small dev team’s cloud infrastructure. I’ve seen so many hobby project forks come and go, and my own personal threat model relies on being extremely secure as well as private.
I don’t know if I’m missing something here, but given the fact that they seem to be brand new, a very small team. Not to mention, they aren’t providing any sort of solution for MV2 (unless they have money to burn). That single issue is creating a massive domino effect of other problems, so I just don’t see the value in it personally.
