Not sure this is the correct way to say it, but this mod seems dead. I have not seen a major version updates in a while and the last tutorial article was so old that I saw it as read (I did not frequent this account in a large while.)

Farewell CC, I had some fun times with you.

The forums are fairly dead, but there is a fairly active community around the switchcraft server. The mod went open source a while ago, so there hasn't been official versions, but there has been many unofficial versions of the mod.

CC Tweaked has become the defacto continuation of the mod: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/cc-tweaked

That being said, what happened to craftOS 2.0?

The same thing that happened to everything else, Dan200 got employed and, I guess, hasn't found time and energy to work on projects for us.

CraftOS 2.0 was never intended to be a CC/MC thing at all - it was a lua API for game development based on CC's APIs. That detail aside, what Lupus said.

Computercraft also lives on in lots of various mod packs. That's how I got into it. And given that those are mostly still stuck at 1.7.1 for various reasons updates aren't really a big deal for that community.

You really have to.

But seriously, it's somewhat depressing trying to help people on older versions, as there's a lot of missing functionality there (ender modems, new characters, palettes, websockets, etc…).

Maybe I should be backporting all of my programs to work with 1.7.10 CC. Replacing NFT block images with NFP, being careful with setTextColor/setBackgroundColor and term.isColor, the works.

I'd be happy with a program that loops a bunch of bitmaps or images in a circle to make the screen look like it's doing something.
