Is SWFUpload still alive?

Question

I'm considering using SWFUpload on my site, but I saw that the last release was in March 2010, and it was a beta. It looks like the SWFUpload people stopped there development.

Is this project still alive? Is there an alternative?

Answer 1

In my opinion, SWFUpload looks pretty dead...

No Issue updates since June 2010 at Google Code...

There IS lots of recent activity at the official SWFUpload discussion forum. Have you asked there yet?

http://groups.google.com/group/swfupload/topics

As far as alternatives, there's quite a few...

Since you are working in ASP.NET you might consider Telerik. They have an uploader and a whole lot more for making a site look and work pretty good.
