Does that mean the software is abandoned?

MeshCommander is different but related to MeshCentral:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MeshCentral/comments/jgh92z/meshcentral_vs_meshcommander/

"In November 2022, Intel discontinued its investment in, and is no longer contributing to, the Mesh open-source project." (In this context, "Mesh" applies to both MeshCommander and MeshCentral)
Source: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/773384/intel-discontinues-contribution-to-mesh-open-source-project.html

The code is Open Source. For MeshCentral, the community has stepped up with:

  1. Multiple releases: https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/releases
  2. A major revamp of the UI: Meshcentral Bootstrap 5 User Interface MeshCentral#6450
  3. And we are starting monthly community meetings: https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/wiki/Community-Monthly-Meetings

@silopolis and everyone interested: you are warmly invited to the community meetings and discuss how to collaborate with others to make things happen!
