Why are there no releases anymore?

The latest released version is 4.2.4 from May of last year. A lot of changes have been merged to master after that, yet there hasn't been any new release ever since. Why is that?

This is especially problematic as 4.2.4 has some vulnerabilities.

I see that the project is using semantic-release and that multiple "fix" commits have been added since the last reelease. So they should definitely have triggered a new release, but didn't. Seems like there's something broken in the release process...

It looks like the issue is that the release cycle used to be managed by Travis-CI.org and since that CI/CD tool was switched from this tool there are no releases. I don't manage this repo so I don't have the ability to do this, but it seems like travis-CI.com is continuing to use the .travis.yml config that was here. Maybe a repo maintainer should sign up for that service so that releases can begin again?

This can be closed as #923 supersedes it.

Ok thanks, great!
