The software is still maintained, but not available as a Debian package
anymore. To be more exact: there's nothing i would add/change right now.
Last weekend i got an idea how to solve my showstopper for releasing
1.0 but i have to test if my idea might work at all.

It's only marked  buggy because it does not follow the guidelines for
PostgreSQL packages in Debian. The software itself is not buggy.

The last version works with 8.3.

You can "flashback" to old data, but you need to use the tablelog
functions.
