Has this become abandonware?

My company is using SubsManager for our site and we're having some issues. I'm looking through the issues list and see that some have been open since 2014 and others have only the original reporter's initial message and no response from @arunoda and the last commit was 6 months ago for a patch version bump.

If this has become abandonware, can anyone suggest a comparable subscription caching package that may still be under active development or at least getting regular bug fixes merged in? We've seen https://github.com/ccorcos/meteor-subs-cache but haven't tried it yet.

Would also be interested in an answer or recommendation of an alternative solution to this problem.

Me too. I submitted a PR to this repo months ago, and am dealing with unfixed bugs.

https://github.com/ccorcos/meteor-subs-cache has been marked as 'Deprecated' however there's a fork here https://github.com/ElvishJerricco/meteor-subs-cache with a bug fixed. The fork is also in atmosphere as "elvishjerricco:subs-cache"

Since the fork was actively developed in the last 3 months maybe this could be a good starting point?

I'm interested in porting this package to npm for use with RN.
I haven't had any issues with it and have been using it in production for a few years now (but obviously you guys do have some issues).

I was using https://github.com/ccorcos/meteor-subs-cache, was great but a few issues needed fix (particulary the "can't set timers inside simulation" issue).

Overall, the package was great and gave more control over subscriptions and callbacks, but it has been deprecated, and now a maintainer is wanted. I would gladly continue to use it if someone shows up. Maybe @gaurav- or @ElvishJerricco ?

@snajjar Looks like we have a new maintainer now: ccorcos/meteor-subs-cache#28 (comment)

I'm just now considering using a sub manager..
This package is still the one mentioned in the galaxy docs:
http://galaxy-guide.meteor.com/apm-reduce-bandwidth-and-cpu-waste.html

Any news on the maintenance of this package?
Should I be using this one or a different one?

@elie222 thanks for replying.. any newer one you recommend?

Though I'm sure this package works now, if in the future Meteor will change
core pub/sub inner workings this package will be obsolete... no?
