Yes we are still alive.

I decided to convert the old SVN repos to Mercurial, rather than git 
(I've been using Mercurial a lot lately and I like it better.)
The project under mercurial is mostly the same except for some branch translations as many of the branches had the same names as tags which doesn't work that well with mercurial.

If you have mercurial installed, you can pull down the latest code like this:

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/jabsorb/

cd jabsorb

hg up 1.3.X

(The last command is to switch to the latest stable branch which is highly recommended as the bleeding edge trunk is a long way from stable.)


I've also done a new release:
Release 1.3.2 has several bug fixes and minor improvements over the last stable release.

You can download it from here:

The 1.3.2 release was actually ready to go about 2 years ago but I never got around to doing it.
Yes, I am quite embarrassed about that (not to mention letting the site go down for so long.)
But at least you can get to the project in a somewhat usable state again.

The wiki, issue tracker, etc. are gone for now but we will hopefully have them back again in some incarnation some point soon.
For now feel free to submit any issues during the interim here: http://code.google.com/p/jabsorb/issues/list

Thank you for your patience and I am really sorry that it took so long to get to this point...

Excellent news! When will the documentation be available from the old
site?
