No. Dev's wife had a baby and Dev ended up having two surgeries in relatively short window, so he hasn't really been in a position to do updates again until now. Between the baby and surgeries, he was out of commission for about a year. And then when he was back, he still had to work on the update, so there wasn't an immediate release, either. He's only been back to giving updates for about 3 months or so? Give or take. A lot of games go longer than 3 months between updates, so nothing out of the ordinary.
Don't listen to the misanthropic choads. None of them paid for it either, they have no rights to complain about anything.
