It is clear from the commit history that the project is active and work on it continues.

I’m running that February release as my daily driver on MacOS happily. Haven’t launched Emacs except by accident for a few weeks. I admit it’s an experiment but so far so good.

Lem always feels very responsive (threading or rendering architecture, I assume) and my meagre needs for Emacs keystrokes seem supported. One thing I’d love to see Lem support soon, though, is org-mode awareness.

I think that releasing is the run git tag, writing a ChangeLog from the previous version, and pushing to GitHub, but I don't think that this act has much meaning.

I think binary files that can be executed by just clicking on them are valuable, but they can be done independently of releases. It's very difficult to make them work on a machine other than your own using sbcl, so I haven't been able to do it continuously.

But when I think back on it, the act of releasing also shows that the software is still alive, so I want to release it
