IOQUAKE3?

What happened? I've been playing quake 3 on and off since launch and ioquake3 has been the default launcher for at least a decade.

I've just built another desktop pc (half life alyx) after a few years exclusive on chromebooks.

Now I find that as far as I could search if I want to reinstall q3 with the latest engine I need to build it from github using instructions on a wiki page that I need WayBackMachine to read because it's been down long enough that even google cache doesn't have it.

The good thing that came out of this is that I found iodefengine. It also needs to be compiled but it's something I didn't know existed and defrag is more what I'm into these days..

Is IoQuake3 abandoned or are they really taking all this long to resume posting builds on their website?
