Seems like an abandoned project. Website copyright is 2012, last stable release 2013, last news update over a year ago.
What's the context? Is it somehow notable regardless?
- josh64 10y agoWell they had 3.0 RC1 released in July 2016 http://pencil.evolus.vn/Next.html http://pencil.evolus.vn/Next.html and their GitHub page at https://github.com/evolus/pencil/ https://github.com/evolus/pencil/ is fairly active.
- a012 10y agoChecked issues page and not found an response from their dev in the first page, to me it's inactive. I wandered to this software awhile ago but then moved immediately to Lucidchart.com then Draw.io
- kagamine 10y agoThe company that make it is Vietnamese I think. They do some paid software too, and it looks like pencil is what the developer does when he has time. So I think the project is active, but not very active.
- jstoja 10y agoSeemed active only last summer: https://github.com/evolus/pencil/graphs/contributors https://github.com/evolus/pencil/graphs/contributors
- ksec 10y agoI guess they abandoned it after that then. May be someone will pick it up soon.
- kagamine 10y agoIt's free, and not a 2 week trial free. It helped me out just last week because employer has no license for paid software... The V3 release is quite recent and although the features are similar to earlier versions, the GUI is much improved. It is also Win/Apple/LINUX software, so projects should be portable. What lacks most of all, imo, is that finding sets of templates for newer OSes needs a bit of work. If I was the developer I would spend some time creating these myself, and then beg for donations on the back of that.
