Rotato changelog stops in 2023; last release is a crash-fix patch.

◆Current state
Rotato's published changelog goes quiet after August 2023 — the most recent release (142.378) is all crash fixes, preceded by 142.377's animation timeline and sidebar redesign. Earlier releases delivered a template gallery, 8K output, Figma plugin beta, and more device scenes. Whether the product is still shipping outside this changelog is unclear from the visible signal.
◆Where it's heading
From the entries shown, Rotato grew through 2021–2023 with steady scene additions, UI refinement, and ecosystem reach (Figma plugin) before the changelog went silent. The visible direction was toward higher-fidelity mockups and broader integration with designer tools, but there is no recent data to extend that line.
◆Prediction
Without recent shipping data, predicting direction is unreliable. If shipping has actually stopped, the product is in maintenance mode; if shipping continues elsewhere, the public changelog is no longer where to look.

    v142.378 — crash fixes

    Pure crash-fix release closing several edge cases — right-click on scenes, Cmd+3, no-internet downloads, dragged non-relevant files. The last published changelog entry.

    v140.37 — CocoaPods deintegration and launch-time fixes

    Refactor for faster launch and a lighter app, plus a single bug fix. Notable mostly for the changelog's CocoaPods farewell rather than the user-visible delta.
