Hello there,

Sorry for the long delay, I am terrible at responding atm. The package  
itself isn't dead. It's rather stalled for the moment as we are  
currently overhauling our forum enigne completely. Part of this is  
moving away from the "let's concatenate strings and hope everything  
validates in the end" in favour of a more sane "use dom xml from the  
very beginning" aproach. This will also effect the BBCode parser.

As for Horde_Image: It has been one of the design goals of this  
package to provide everything it needs itself, if necessary. This will  
most likely change as well. My current plan is to make the image  
processing part entirely optional (as in: This feature will be  
available if certain external packages are available). The feature set  
won't change much. One fo the last feedbacks I received concerned  
routing external links through anonymizers as anonym.to, which would  
be a cool feature IMHO.

PHPUnit is part of our new set of build tools (as is Phing), so you  
can expect a lot of PHPUnit tests as well. All in all, I'd say there  
won't be a new version before February (likely close to March).
