Is Caffe still actively maintained?

Is Caffe still actively maintained? The latest commit is March 1st and there are some PR merges from last year, however the 1.0 release is the latest one and is from 2017.

I was wondering the same thing. I kept using Caffe because when I did some tests in early 2017, it performed best on inference performance on Jetson TX1s from all networks tested. However earlier this year I found some bugs in the reshape layer implementation (which is kinda important when dealing with LSTMs)

https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/6769

which I tried to fix:

https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/pull/6770

and there was simply no response at all for 3 months, which is kinda alarming considering the severity of the bug (at least for training)

I'm now in the process of porting all my stuff to pytorch in the hope I can then use caffe2 for inference.

But a life sign from the dev team would still be nice. At least an official end of life announcement or something.

PyTorch looks like a good way to go.  I found they now have a C++ fronted https://pytorch.org/tutorials/advanced/cpp_frontend.html
