The project itself is not frozen, only the current API, intention being  
that it would stay mostly the same for 1.x releases. As for 2.x versions,  
I'm not yet sure what those would be like.
Release 1.1 would be current cvs head with some fixes and improvements I  
have in mind. It is just that I was a bit busy with other things for a  
while and didn't that much time to work on it.

Actually I've been working more with PAL lately (playing with the Chipmunk  
2d physics library  
(http://www.slembcke.net/photos/v/programming/chipmunk/), it could make a  
nice add-on package for PAL :) ) and an integrated gui is probably  
something I'm going to work on next. That and the documentation...  
Meanwhile, I'm glad to answer any questions anyone might have in this  
mailing list. Actually some kind of FAQ/tutorial thingy might be nice, so  
if there are some specific problems that anyone is having/had please let  
me know.

So, if you are asking if PAL is dead the answer is the old "no deader than  
usual" and I'm still interested in any ideas you might have ;)
