No, it's not dead. There have so far been 50 commits since the last update, which you can see on GitHub. We've been slowly working on the v0.10.0 release and just needed more time for this update. I will admit I've been fairly busy IRL, but I am still trying to work on this update; @olorin99 has thankfully contributed a ton of changes though.

The two big features you can expect are client feeds (which combine community and user posts into one view, on the client side), and also rules (which is a filter lists replacement that provides much more functionality in both matching content and acting on it).

I hope this helps; let me know if you have any questions.
