The true story is that, although official development has stopped,  
all the original developers still use Unison every day, and  
occasionally we get hack attacks; also, occasionally someone like Ben  
gets interested in looking under the hood (and then gets a hack  
attack :-), and more good things happen.

2.17 seems to be working well for most people.  If you're using a Mac  
or experience problems with the backup functionality (where we've  
fixed some bugs since 2.17), you may want to build yourself a new  
version from the latest svn.
