There are few things happened. First of all, unfortunately for me it is very difficult to work on new features and maintain the project... one of the main reasons - I do not have hardware (even car), so it is not the best environment for development. Working with remote testers is very difficult and not so productive. I have a lot of ideas and plans, but it is not possible to implement them without proper support (from the community or good R&D team, for example) or without comprehensive testing environment (hardware, vehicles and etc) and of course without enough free time...
Just one more example is CAN-Pick: https://cansecwest.com/slides/2017/CSW2017_MinruiYan-JianhaoLiu_A_visualization_tool_for_evaluating_CAN-bus_cybersecurity.pdf
This tool was also presented on BlackHat US 17: https://www.blackhat.com/us-17/arsenal/schedule/index.html#can-pick---a-visualization-tool-for-evaluating-can-bus-cybersecurity---arsenal-theater-demo-7026
As far as I can see here CANToolz was used as the "engine" and/or the source of ideas(e.g. modules) for CAN-Picks. Yes, they have missed few modules that was introduce after, but maybe they do not need them 8)
But anyway I want other people to use CANToolz, especially when they can do with it more then me! And these guys with their resources and talents can do a lot, for example they have added graph visualization and dynamic config and module loading which I planned to do, but had no time... so they did a great work! But may be I am just a little bit disappointed that they did not want to contribute to CANToolz with their ideas and code, ha-ha-ha, but this typical example of high expectations 8))
Anyway, this is the time for some changes, and the best idea here: to change the maintainer... so please welcome the new maintainer: Tao Sauvage.
Tao helped CANToolz a lot with contribution, bug reports, ideas and moral support. He is an active CANToolz user who is helping the project development, and I believe he can provide much more as a leader there! Thank you Tao!
I will stay as a supporter and if I have more time and resources for unrealized ideas - then I will also contribute. Any way I am still here :-)
