New version release

[bhagyaraj46]

Hi ,

It's been long time you had released a new version.

Can we expect to release a new version in coming days ??

@miloyip @pah @smhdfdl If you could help the community out by cutting a release, it would be greatly appreciated. Everyone is relying on pointing to your last commits, but a tag would be much better.

ping @tencent-adm @nihui @miloyip @pippocao @anlyyao @uyarn @domchen:
it would be helpful to have an official statement of this weird situation from tencent company in charge of opensource projects

in 8 years (from 2016) new changes/improvements to this library has been done and merged but without new point releases
making a release is elementary and also not require too much effort

it seems that those who were in charge of making releases (@miloyip) no longer follow this project/repository,
is it possible that among your contributors who maintain tencent repositories, no one has the ability to spend some time to do a repository release? Why not assign someone?

many open source projects rely on this component
but what we should expect for the future?
do you want to close this project?
we should consider migrating to another library or continue to support it?

an official response would be greatly appreciated
regards
