Hi,My supervisor asks me to do research upon why Spatialite is becoming obsolete project lately as there is no more development activities? Should we keep using it or migrate to another sql software?

This is not SpatiaLite project, but "SpatiaLite-gis", that was an application GIS example.

Instead, SpatiaLite core project is very active.
Do not worry :)

 Although it is true that since the last release (4.3.0a) that 20 months have passed, it would be incorrect to assume that there is a lack of development activities.

The intended version (4.4.0) was not released last year because of quality issues.

A major goal of that version was to support the ISO/IEC 13249-3 Topology standard, based on the rt-topo library.

Extensive quality tests from outside sources showed, that a release at that point could not be made.

So most of the development work until about March was in this direction.

At present a Spatialite 4.5.0 is being prepared, a full description of which can be found here:

No.

This was a portion of the (then called) 'RasterLite' portion of the Spatialite project.

It has been completely replaced with 'RasterLite2', which is now in its final stage of development:

These summaries should assist you on your research for your supervisor.
