Next Nmap Release?

Hello, Firstly, I know Nmap is free and largely run by volunteers, for which I'm very grateful. It has been over a year since Nmap 7.70 was released (March 2018: https://seclists.org/nmap-announce/2018/0) and I was just wondering if there are specific features and fixes that are being waited on before the next release can happen? (E.g. 7.80 or something else). There have been a lot of great changes since 7.70 as can be seen by the long list here: https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/CHANGELOG I know I can compile from the latest source (and I do), but a lot of people just use the release binaries, or their distro's package, and I'm seeing quite a few scan results which could have benefited from various updates since 7.70 (service probes, OS fingerprints, IANA updates, scripts etc.) as well as fixes related to libpcap, libssh and others. I don't want to pressure a rushed release, but maybe if you let us know that there are no imminent plans for the next release, I will try and encourage a few more people to compile from the latest source to pick up some of the recent fixes. Thanks.
