What Carlton said. You can try and give the dev branch a spin once in a while if you're adventurous. That aside, you'd have to guess from the commit description or ask me directly. I can't really give you ETAs, I don't work on Armory all day. It's hard to predict how much time I have to work on it atm.

Is there something we can subscribe to, so we can understand when the new version is released?

hmmm, maybe you can get notifications about updates (or version tags) at github.com/goatpig/bitcoinarmory (you'd need to sign up to github I guess)


really, you're already asking in the right place: goatpig is the main dev for Armory, and this sub is where all the public discourse about Armory happens.

I just updated to 20.04 because the previous version was no longer getting security updates and was extremely unpleasantly surprised that Armory doesn't work anymore! Sad
I read the 2 threads here about Ubuntu dropping py2 as the reason, but the work around seems too difficult for a newbie, and running in VM is not ideal either. I read that this will be fixed in the new release but when is it coming? Even rough estimation would be appreciated so I can know if I can wait or try to make the workaround setup.
