In the sense that bugfixes are released, yes. The problem is that
there are large parts of glimpse's C code that no one can really
understand, except for its original creators. This makes bugs
devilishly difficult to find, even if they are reproducible. The last
time I tracked down one and committed a fix, it took me the better
part of three days to do so.
