Active development has pretty much stopped entirely. As far as I know, I 
am the only person still actively trying to keep insight crawling along 
-- largely because I still use it daily for my work.

Occasionally a gdb person will check in a patch for some API change that 
is made upstream, but those people are very few.

Releases get done very sporadically. I've been sitting on a configury 
patch for x86_64 for some time. Since I am now migrating to an x86_64 
box, I can actually now test this stuff! [And there have been numerous 
problems reported with x86_64.]

And in general, I have been very busy with my personal interests, so 
it's a real effort to do much more than keep it working sufficiently for 
my needs.

I've thought about rewriting from scratch, but there are several 
competing projects out there like nemevier that require consideration 
first. Perhaps I will just jump ship and work one of those.
