To be honest, it is "in development" but only very intermittently. You 
can see the sobering truth here: 
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/graphs/contributors. Right now I'm 
in a rush to get through with a few of my long-standing wishes and 
ideas, but I can't tell how long that will last. Actually we've just 
started discussing an outline to a set of exciting new functions that 
will hopefully add significant usability improvements and lead to a 3.1 
release in the not-too-distant future.

But at the core is that we should urgently have at least one, better two 
or three fresh developers who can spend some sort of continued 
contribution (of course I'm not talking about full-time committment). 
Any referrals to forums where such people could be found or to concrete 
persons would be very welcome.
