**Is TA-Lib maintained?**

Yes.

*The Good News*

Many projects depending on TA-Lib are actively maintained.

The C/C++ source code have remained in-use for >20 years.

A large portion of TA-Lib is stable. Therefore, there is no further change needed for most TA functions.

*The Bad News*

Contributions to produce new TA functions are very rare.

Implementing speed efficient TA functions in C is harder compare to high-level languages provided by commercial software/website (e.g. tradingview, tradestation etc...).

Releases went stale between 2014 and 2024, one "excuse" is the packaging process was outdated and time-consuming.

*Ongoing Initiatives*

In 2024, work started to automate packaging with Github actions. Goal is to have new maintainers be able to trig a release at the "push of a button".

There is also a native Rust version, generated and verified against the C reference (a public crate release is still pending).

Most importantly, there is intent to make the ta-lib-python installation easier.
