It's a mature library, so I don't think it has been actively developed.
However, it is mature enough for the authors to build R bindings on top of
it this year, without much modification to the source code (someone ran a
minifier over it to remove comments, so it's hard to tell amongst that
chaff if anything significant has been modified, but it doesn't look like
much).

The worst-case scenario is that we simply implement the algorithms
ourselves using the C code as a reference. Given how we want to interact
with scipy.stats distribution objects and numpy BitGenerators, it's
entirely possible that's where we want to end up, anyways.
