89% decline in new features in each release from 4.13.1 to 4.18.1

Maybe. Though please note we are talking a constant decline in the number of new features for last few years. That is a constant decline from 4.12.1 (which wasn’t included in my list above but that was even more at 48 new features, possibly makig up for the prior smaller release so there has been some ups and downs but this seems constant, like abandoning).

The desired features trail disappeared recently and many what some might think are bugs are answered with “designed as intended” it does feel as though cs-cart is in the process of abandoning the product.

There was no reason given so anyone like myself who saw there were regular updates with new features prior to buying is entiled to feel misled. However there may be a reason I am not aware of hence the question … is there a reason? Am I missing something?
