It seems that they are starting to make new releases again, only bugfixes...

  There have been periodic bug fix releases all along, this is the 13th of them hence 4.1.13. If this project said "We're not really doing any new work in OpenOffice, try [link to] LibreOffice for that, but here's our latest bug fixes" nobody would have a problem with that at this point. The name was valuable years ago, it's less valuable today, and at least there'd be a link. But the claim, all along has been that this is still an active project, it's earnestly shipping new features just... never quite yet. Here's what they told Apache's board earlier this year: 4.2.0 is the next minor release, planned to be released into a beta phase. We have missed our goal on going into the beta in 2019. [...] An alpha and/or beta release is planned for the next quarter. And here's what they wrote to that same board, two years earlier: 4.2.0 is the next minor release, planned to be released into a beta phase. We have missed our goal on going into the beta in 2019. [...] An alpha and/or beta release is planned for the next quarter. They last made a feature release in 2014. Windows 10 didn't exist. It was still controversial that Ben Affleck was going to play Batman. Barack Obama was President of the United States of America.
