As @DavidOliver mentioned:

News about Rawtherapee development

The release cycle may be long, but the development is not slow. RawTherapee is constantly being improved, including almost-completed efforts that will free up valuable development time. I really want people to know that the project is active because statements implying the opposite are detrimental, turning users away and demotivating developers and contributors.
