Hello guys, almost nothing new about extensions has come out, what's going on?
It's understandable to feel concerned when there seems to be a slowdown in updates and new extensions. There could be several reasons for this, such as developers focusing on major updates, working on behind-the-scenes improvements, or even taking some much-needed rest to avoid burnout.
Sometimes, development cycles include phases where work is less visible but still crucial, like bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance optimizations. If you're curious about specific timelines or upcoming features, it might be helpful to check official announcements or reach out to the development team directly.
There have been updates, but mostly maintenance and replacements of core extensions rather than brand-new ones. For example, v1.4.4 replaced the old USPS shipping extension, updated PayPal and Stripe, and added Google address autocomplete — these ship with the core, not the marketplace, so it feels like "nothing new."
The marketplace itself relies mainly on third-party developers, and official resources are limited, so the pace is indeed slow.
