I've not been very active on osync since a couple of years, as always, there's work, other (nicer) open source projets where I'm involved, etc...
Nevertheless, osync is what made me learn (and love/hate) bash ;)
I've finally managed to take some time to make github actions work, so I could tests running on all three OSes (yes, I know, there are more... but not supported on github and I do run those tests manually).
This was the last thing I wanted to fix before making a release.

The force of osync is and has always been statefulness, but I do think that a Python project would be quite easier to maintain.
I'll stick around here to handle bugs as always, but a 6000 liner bash script is big to maintain, and there won't be any major features... Since it looks quite feature complete.
Still, feel free to open issues for feature requests / bugs / whatever.
