Sync for Lemmy Beta 96 release notes
New
- Support for Lemmy 0.19
- Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt
- Added "Account settings" to replace "Lemmy Settings"
- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort
Changes
- Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
- Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)

Is he still supporting sync, development hasn't been updated for awhile
In theory, yes he is. Longtime fans of Sync for Reddit will tell you that this is normal and he works in sporadic bursts, but accomplishes a lot in the times he is actively working on his projects.
That being said, I don't know that there has been any official word about it. Just people saying that 3 months - or longer - breaks are normal for @ljdawson@lemmy.world. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
People have been asking this for months now. It'd be cool to get an updated status, but I doubt it'll happen (until he's actually back). We just have to deal with the broken features (and all the issues tracked in GitHub).
First sentence sums me up perfectly. Intense working + winter blues = burnout this time around but I'm back and just trying to make my way through a few months of posts + messages.
Todays release is just a quick hotfix for the crash but hoping to release a fairly big update soon.
Thanks for the patience.
Thanks for coming back to us - we're happy you made it through what sounds like a shitty winter! You kick a lot of ass when you're around, so it's easy to picture you burning out.
Welcome back!

Yep, it's normal. Nope, he doesn't usually say much about it. It's probably still actively worked on since nothing has been said. The only time I can remember was when it was actually communicated that development would be slowing down some years ago due to life stuff. As such, assuming that development is still ongoing is reasonable IMO but of course that isn't necessarily something all users see as something worth paying for.
Yes. Sorry for the crap comms.
Hotfix pushed today to fix the crashes and I'll be pushing a large update soon after.
