Shortly, no new features are being implemented for Genoa. CoTemplate 2.6 was an exception because it was highly requested and has been tested on Siena well enough and it can be used with Genoa almost painlessly. Probably 2.7 will be available in Genoa as well if it is known to be reliable enough. As for jQuery 1.7.1 it is more questionable, we need to be sure it doesn't break any existing plugins if we update it.

In the Cotonti Team we don't have an explicit intention to halt the Genoa branch and force everyone to Siena migration. But we are a very few people in fact and we've made our choice in favor of Siena.

I don't mind if somebody continued the development of Genoa branch. But there is one major requirement: it must be absolutely backwards compatible with previous Genoa releases (i.e. it must not require any changes in plugins or templates and it must not break any existing sites).

May the Source be with you!
