Dive's changelog shows a long-dormant Docker image explorer with sparse releases

container-toolingdockerimage-analysismaintenance-modeopen-source
◆Current state
Dive, a tool for inspecting Docker/OCI image layers, shows very sparse release activity. The most recent visible entries are a 2023 vulnerability-driven dependency bump (v0.10.1) and, before it, the 2019 addition of Podman image-source support. The gap between entries points to a project in low-maintenance mode.
◆Where it's heading
On this evidence the project is maintenance-oriented, with security and dependency updates rather than new capability. Absent newer entries, there is no clear forward feature direction visible.
◆Prediction
If activity resumes it would most likely be further dependency and security maintenance; the entries do not support a confident feature prediction.

    Add initial Podman support!

    Adds initial Podman support, letting users inspect images from docker, podman, or docker-archive sources via a --source flag, a genuine capability addition though dated well before the latest entry.
