Hi, ivy4r is not dead at all :)
I am still maintaining it and we are using it on our build server every day for around 90 build plans. There is a need for better documentation and a few examples. Right now I don't know any open feature request. There is an outstanding merge from "stephenh" on git, but beside this everything is up to date and working.
