AFAIK, the development of accerciser is going on. In fact, on CSUN
(March 2010) a bug related with a froze of accerciser using at-spi2
(DBUS) was solved, so the eventual dropping of CORBA is being taking
into account.

About the latest production version, not sure if this is related to
the release dates of accerciser.

Anyway, recently the maintainership of accerciser changed, so now
Brian Nitz is the new maintainer, and he made a new release some weeks
ago, although as Eitan told Brian on the last gnome accessibility
meeting, it would be a good idea to announce that on the gnome
accessibility devel list.
