years.
Is the development of plan 9 abandoned?

No it is not, a lot, depends on which file(s) you are looking at.
There has been much work recently on the ARM port (guru plug and beagleboard)

Unlike many open source systems, plan 9 is stable. Very reliable. It doesn't
get changed just for fun.

In the ~8 years since the 4th edition release, there has been pretty
continuous work on Plan 9, both at Bell Labs and in the 9fans community;
nightly an ISO is constructed and uploaded. Changes have been incremental --
a tool appears, bugs are fixed, etc..

If you're the kind of person who understands that we don't need to

Request to add "If you're the kind of person who understands that we
don't need to change 'cat' any further, then you understand the work
that is going on." to fortune.

New toy if anyone is interested, a bit of fun really.
glean - a network reconnaissance tool.
listens to your ethernet, parses NetBIOS and DHCP requests,
mounts itself on /lib/ndb/gleaned which is an ndb(6) file
of what it has discovered.
