Magic Lantern

Anybody know what's going on with Magic Lantern? There hasn't been an update since July 2.

In the 5D forum there's posts from this month.

They're still around??? Who knew!

yeah, i thought development had pretty much ground to a halt a year or two ago.

I think they've squeaked out about all they can for these older models. I have read they are breaking into the 5DIV. I'm thinking of devoting some time for testing in the next couple of months.

In the 5D Classic forum, Alex is back and is looking at adding more functionality.

To the classic? Hmm.

Tens of people are eagerly awaiting the progress report.

The beta4 version (which I installed on my 5D) actually worked pretty good. Had some good features

===== from ML web
* New stuff:
- DOF bracketing ( http://www.magiclanter​n.fm/forum/index.php?t​opic=3113 )
- Flash bracketing (not tested, I don't have a flash)
- press DirectPrint to toggle MLU
- RGB zebras and histogram
- Display saturation (including grayscale preview - if you use UniWB, for example)
- Exposure adjustment in playback mode (rough approximation)

* Complete feature list:
- zebras, focus peaking, spotmeter, histogram, waveform, vectorscope (in playback mode)
- exposure bracketing: shutter, ISO, flash; 2x0.5 ... 9x5EV; auto mode (covers the entire dynamic range).
- DOF bracketing (changes aperture and shutter while keeping exposure constant)
- Intervalometer
- Mirror lockup (shortcut key, or link to self-timer)
- Flash exposure compensation (-10...+3EV) - not tested
- Flash / no flash (like in fuji 6500) - not tested
- Display saturation (grayscale/normal/over​saturated)
- Fast zoom (one click goes to 100%, like on 5D3/1Dx)
- Quick erase (like on 5D3)
- "Ken Rockwell" zoom (press Zoom In after you took a picture, without pressing PLAY)
- Exposure adjustment in playback mode (very rough)
- Timelapse playback - http://vimeo.com/48482​815
- In-camera help (press INFO)
- Benchmark (check read/write speed of the card)
- Display operating system internals (tasks, free memory)

Basically, this is what we can achieve on 5Dc with our current knowledge. For more, one needs to dig deeper in the firmware and reverse engineer it. The camera is about 7 years old if I'm not mistaken - but simply the fact that it runs a large subset of the same ML code designed for DIGIC 4 cameras, is amazing!

Yeah theres none of those old 5D's around anymore.

oh, i know, I'm one to hold on to "old" tech too.

but what's the cross section of users who both have a 5D and want to use ML?

Yeah I liked the bracketing features and a few others that I could use. No idea as to the answer to your question.
Guess I'm a crowd of 1

I think if A1ex goes back to work on it and gets it out of its BETA I'd load it on mine again.
I got scared off when Coutts bricked his 5D testing some new features.
