Version 3.0.0 Release Candidate #1 Released - internally becomes version 3.0.1
Feb 13, 2023(Updated 3/4/23) Though initially released as v3.0.0rc1, the version was changed internally to v3.0.1 so the two versions (v2.7.x & v3.0.x) would mimic each other in minor version. This better identifies similarity in features between both branches. This will become apparent with the imminent release of a patch #1 to both v2.7.1 and (now) v3.0.1.

Exponent in 2021
Exponent will be updated in 2021, however support may come to an end in early 2022. The use of Exponent as a CMS seems to be waning as many site providers and previous users now opt for a proprietary or commercial applications. However some features you can expect to be integrated in v2.6.1 will include Twitter Bootstrap v5 and Twitter Bootstrap Icon support included in the main package instead of as an optional addon.

Exponent in 2020
Yes, Exponent CMS is still alive and being updated. Though development has taken a much slower pace, bugs are still being squashed and new features are being added. You can expect v2.5.1 to be released by the end of winter 2020 (March). This is actually a minor patch update to v2.5.0patch2, but due to the copyright being updated to 2020 it affects almost every file and would be a very large patch, therefore it'll be a full version release.
