[CentOS] KeePassX replacement

keepassx.org shows the latest release as October 2016 (and the main page shows "2005-2017" so someone is updating it), if I found the right keepass 2 (keepass.info) it was updated in June 2017.  I do remember receiving a security alert to upgrade keepassx (since I use it) quite some time back (but not years ago).

I for one use keepassx. My password database is synchronized between
variety of systems, and I can view/edit it on: CentOS, FreeBSD, MS
Windows, Android (and should be able on any derivatives of those). I
didn't try iOS as currently I don't have a need in that.

Incidentally, does anybody know if there is any necessity in keepassx to
be patched? Did I read the original post correctly: there is no activity
on the development site for long time? Should there be any? (As, I would
say for comparison: cvs is so established software that there is no
development to expect, only if there are any security holes found those
need to be patched). Any insight on KeePassX anybody?
