The Infected last shipped a public branch build 5 months ago (May 8, 2026).
The Infected averaged 0.3 updates a month over the last year. The Infected is rarely updated (18/100). 3 of the last 12 months had at least one update day. Not enough of a cadence to call it regular.
Not yet. The Infected is slowing down: the last signal is between 90 and 180 days old.
