We're hoping for a mid-September launch, but COVID has impacted our timeline and resources. The plan is to start work on environment management after Metadoc is released. You can probably guess that our beachhead effort is Go documentation (yes, JS is high on the roadmap), and the NVM4W code base has been our test bed. That said, I am gradually coming up for air and finding time to notate new features, revisit old requests, etc.Ĭurrently, my focus is releasing Metadoc.io, a new startup I'm working on with We completed Y-Combinator Startup School earlier this year and have been working overtime to bring it to life. Sponsorship has really only picked up meagerly in the last 2 months, and to date this project still operates at a loss (the code signing certificate costs more than the lifetime earnings of this project). The bottom line is I have been busy, and this project isn't exactly putting food on the table. I was also hard at work on Fenix Web Server 3.0.0, a project that preceded this one and was in dire need of updates. I started work on Github Actions during the beta to facilitate faster releases, then Github changed from HCL to YAML, ditched the visual editor, and pretty much changed the way everything works. The DevOps process, installers, and even Go underwent major changes. Over the last 18 months, I've been predominantly working on macOS, so it has been difficult to test changes. The truth is I have had alot of life turbulence, both good and bad, and it has been incredibly hard to keep up. There's no denying, the 1.1.8 release has been significantly delayed. I know it seems like it takes a long time for releases. I also hope to answer questions, starting. I intend to close down the gitter channel in favor of this. I am hoping to use this discussion feature to help provide better progress updates, project intentions, goals, etc. I, and the community, owe them a debt of gratitude. There have been some absolutely stellar contributors who have helped move this project forward over the years.

NVM4W is one of the more popular projects I've released, with over 2.5M downloads (not all from Github). The project has grown alot since those days.

It first started right before io.js split and merged back into Node. I created NVM for Windows to fill a gap in the Node community and make Windows developers first class citizens as Node evolved.
