Is protovis still being actively developed?

Based on the commit history, it looks like protovis has not been touched since August 2010. Has the project been abandoned?

I'm evaluating javascript charting libraries for my company and would hesitate to recommend one that is no longer being developed.

Solution

  • Protovis is no longer being actively developed; instead, it has been reincarnated as D3.js:

    There is an introduction for Protovis users that elaborates on the major differences, and why we decided to develop a new library rather than make incremental improvements.
