The last FatDogArm release dates back to 16 April 2016:

It looks like the project is still in beta.

Are there any further developments planned and a stable release?

The project is currently under cryogenic stasis.

That's a shame.

Considering the global energy crisis, there is an increasing demand for small computing devices with low power consumption and FatDog would be a cool OS to support that trend... :)

Haha, don't get taken by the hype. All things being equal, same amount of computing power requires more or less the same amount of energy. ARM chips are lower-power only because they have lower computing power.

Less is more. The idea is to run a basic office desktop (browser + Libreoffice) at full HD resolution energy-efficient on ARM hardware... :thumbup:
