Let's discuss here about the future Riecoin Core version. Firstly, Bitcoin Core 23 is planned to release in less than a month, so I am not going to already port the code to Riecoin and will definitively skip this version as there is no major features (and a couple of interesting ones have already been included in Riecoin 22.03). The next Riecoin Core will be based on Bitcoin Core 24, which should be out around November 1, so a next Riecoin release in December seems logical.

Afaik, there are currently no interesting Bitcoin projects or soft forks like Taproot except maybe the DriveChains that would allow Riecoin to be used as a base for other coins, so Riecoin 22.12 could be the last version that ports directly all the Bitcoin improvements, and after 22.12 we could focus more on improvements for Riecoin itself without caring about keeping a code that does not deviate too much from Bitcoin's.
This would allow to include some really useful features that Bitcoin Core developers are for some reason reluctant to add like AddrIndex, which can greatly help the creation of new Riecoin software. I have some other ideas that however need some reflection.
Of course, some useful new merged code from Bitcoin would still occasionally be ported to Riecoin.
