+Floating IPS is in maintenance mode. Bug reports and pull requests will be read, but feature requests are unlikely to be implemented. Releases are automated for every commit, meaning the release schedule is highly erratic, and half of the releases are identical (because the commit only updated readme or comments).

 Alternatively, Linux users can also download binaries from [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.Alcaro.Flips).
