You failed to notice that they committed less than a month ago to their master branch and approved several PRs. Their last dotX release was also 9 months after. You should also always have a look at roadmap (https://github.com/jquery/jquery/wiki/Roadmap https://github.com/jquery/jquery/wiki/Roadmap) if you are trying to get a read on any project's longevity. It is in a way a good thing that a mature library like jQuery isn't released too frequently because all the websites that use it works just a little bit snappier because jQuery is usually already available in cache in the browser from some other source and if not, then the nearest CDN probably has it.

On the jQuery website, the latest download version is 3.3.1. http://jquery.com/ http://jquery.com/ On GitHub, it says that 3.3.1 was released January 20th, 2018: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/releases https://github.com/jquery/jquery/releases Releases matter, as that is what gets the changes to end-users, and infrequent releases typically indicate a stagnant project. I am not trying to disparage jQuery, rather the opposite, since it is mature and reliable software. Open-source projects, like houseplants, need stewardship, and jQuery (along with other JS Foundation projects) may be overshadowed by JavaScript ecosystem hype-cycles that are competing for mind-share.
