sourceforge.net https://sourceforge.net/p/dosbox/code-0/HEAD/ ) is dated March
10th, 2023, previous one is July 14th, 2022. Looking at their bug tracker -
since about mid January 2020 no bug reported was closed, hardly any of them got
any response from the DOSBox team. The latest news on their web page (
www.dosbox.com https://www.dosbox.com/ ) is dated January 27th 2021. The
previous one (June 26th, 2019) states: > Ideally, 0.75 should have been
released by now, but some bugs took a lot longer than expected. This was 4
years ago, release did not happen to this day. DOSBox was the best thing that
happened to DOS retro-gamers, it severed us well for two decades, but it is now
a 0xDEAD 0xBEEF. ----- DOSBox Staging and DOSBox-X are two really actively
developed forks/successors - Staging progresses more carefully, has less
features, but in my experience is more stable; X is harder to configure
properly, and more like yolo-developed (but still fun to use by power users!).
