Is the project still alive?

Hi!

I found this project and spot2 came across to me as a good alternative complex Doctrine. But version 2.2.0 was released 2 years ago and project seems abandoned.
Sql Join supports expected since 2016 #175 .

How do you think where the project is moving? Are there any better alternatives?

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in this project. We are in a tricky situation right now. I'm using spot2 actively so I'm trying to keep things updated and help people with their issues. I'm in no place to make cardinal decisions, because we have a group to do that. Unfortunately the other group members are very busy right now so we cannot move forward on many issues.

@vlucas asked us to help maintaining the project and we decided on making a group. We thought last year that was a great idea. Right now I'm really frustrated with the group as well, because it seems that I'm the only active member. I need @vlucas's help all the time and that ruins the purpose of the whole collaboration. He asked for help because he did not have the time for it. Sometimes I think that I should take the role of the sole maintainer because I don't want this project to die.

I would like to:

• make a new release in the near future
• merge the pending pull requests
• fix PHP7.1+ bugs
• decide whether or not we need to officially support HHVM in the future
  etc.

I think that spot2 is great and very simple, that's why I use it in numerous projects.

Please make this project keep moving. This projects mimics nodejs orm: sequelize. I can easily porting a nodejs project to a php project because of this orm.

Yes, this project is relatively active, but we need to create a new release. There has been a lot of activity on master since the last release.
