Is libodbc++ dormant? Is there any explicit successor?

I am searching for a C++ library that wraps ODBC. To follow the SO rules about avoiding "opinionated" questions. So, is the libodbc++ project dormant (http://libodbcxx.sourceforge.net/libodbc++/roadmap.html) or is it simply "without bugs" and it need not to be changed since the last version?

If it is abandoned, is there any direct successor?

Context: I have two main Windows desktop applications based on DBF files (FoxPro drivers). The older one uses MDAC with vfpodbc driver, the newer uses OLE DB (ATL objects with vfpodbc driver). The successor should use MS-SQL, and I also want to switch from OLE DB to the now more supported (by Microsoft) ODBC. I am also searching for the library that can be used not only for Windows applications (cross platform).
