 * Also curious why is this being abandoned. If you are not going to keep it updated
   what is an alternative SMTP plugin option for integrating with your service?
 * Anyone used Mailgun with another plugin?

 * Hey all,
 * Apologies for the lack of updates here. We will be deploying a new version of
   the Mailgun plugin very soon. Stay tuned!

 * How is it even possible to be this outdated, seriously how can a for-profit business
   be this far behind? I want to use your API but if you let your plugin fall this
   far behind I can only imagine how bad the things are we can’t see.

 * We’ve been using Mailgun for a couple years, and really do depend on the WordPress
   functionality due to webserver outbound SMTP being blocked by hosting provider.
   To be honest If my company continues to see this plugin as abandoned then we 
   will be forced to close out mailgun account, and go with one of the other transnational
   email providers that offer a supported WP plugin. I’m hoping that Mailgun is 
   listening to its customers asking not to abandon this plugin. Please advise on
   a time frame for a new version that will be maintained. Thanks for your time!

 * [@mailgun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mailgun/) Just wanted to chime
   in as well. I’m a long-time Mailgun user with many clients using the service 
   heavily. Wordfence recently marked this plugin as abandoned, and likely the WP
   plugin directory isn’t far behind. Any update on a possible release date for 
   the new version? Thanks much!
