Ask HN: Is CouchDB dead?

It seems to fit exactly our needs:

- document store with json api

- authentication and fine grained acls

We evaluated it and made a quick poc, and it is really awesome. The documentation is clear and well done, the performance is there, and it is so easy to get going everyone can pick it up in a few hours. But the latest version is two years old. Does someone know what is going on? Is it a dead project? We love it, but we don't want to build our web apps on a dead foundation.
