Blog posts about Zorin 11 release but downloads only for 9

I wonder how alive this whole Zorin OS project might be.
I ask because I just arrived here after reading about the Zorin 11 version somewhere
but then I had to see that the download page only offers links to the older version 9.

What went wrong here when no one cared about updating the download link since two years?
Or is it just a big misunderstanding in some way?

Zorin 11 was based on Ubuntu 15.10 whose support ended on 31st July 2016 - Zorin 9 is LTS (Long Term Support) until April 2019. The Zorin Brothers and their Developers are hard at work on getting the next LTS ready, Zorin 12, only at Beta stage as far as I can tell. Usually once it is ready for release they offer a 'Release Candidate' for general public to test before providing 'Final' release. ;) :D

Thank you for this clarification. I think it would be a good thing to place such a note on the download page since this won't be clear to most new visitors.
