Is the plugin still supported?

I have checked that the plugin has not been updated for 2 years, we have been using it for a couple of years and the plugin is very good, but we need to know if you plan to release new maintenance upd

This plug-in did exactly what I expected (display the featured image caption in post single view), without any configuration. Thank you!
