There hasn't been a release for two years now. But a lot of software
hasn't been updated and is still very stable. I have been using Cricket
in production in two companies already and never had much trouble with
it. (Besides from mtargets that silently fail if not configured
correctly - or collector jobs that take too long and need to be split to
not block themselves.)

This mailing list isn't very high-volume either. Don't worry. You'll
likely be happy with Cricket.
