Don't know, I hope it's not dead, there have been releases
since the fork.
But since the fork of a 0MQ project into a Crossroads I/O,
with two main developers actively continuing their work there,
seems to me the other one has a better prospect. Time will tell.

Quanah has been very patient with me dragging my feet regarding
improving LDAP support. Appreciated.
Well... I see him often nagging/(requesting) on the dspam mailing list
for ipv6 support. Last time he even sent a bunch of links for how to
implement ipv6 into c code. Funny. When I read it I asked my self: he
took the time to find documentation what needs to be added/changed in c
code for ipv6 code (in addition to ipv4 code) and this is not the first
time he is asking for that on the list. And so far no one of the
community has made anything. And this guy works for EMC/VMware where a
gazillion of coders are working and he can not provide a small patch
adding that ipv6 support that he is claiming to be easy to add? Is the
community not supposed to work that way, that everyone is contributing as
much as they can?
If one knew Quanah, they might realize he frequently and often contributes
code back to projects*, as well as donating time to be the release engineer
for the OpenLDAP project, as well, of course, of doing his day job.
I first asked about DSPAM IPv6 support on 7/18/2011. I next asked about it
on 4/23/2012. I hardly think asking if support has been implemented for a
significant feature only twice in the span of about a year is being
particularly pushy. Taking on IPv6 support for DSPAM, when I (at least at
the time) had zero capability to do IPv6 in-house did not seem particularly
wise to me.
