Is phpDocumentor dead?

Question

Or is it just at a 'finished' state? I've used PHPDoc for many years on all my PHP projects, but I recently noticed that the last post on the PHPDoc website was from 2008. So I'm wondering if it's time to look into other alternatives like Doxygen. Are there any advantages to using something other than PHPDoc?

EDIT: Interesting post on Dev Zone today when Matthew announced the release of Zend Framework 1.11.5 he wrote:

"Mike van Riel offered to convert our API documentation generation to DocBlox. We'd already been considering it for ZF2, but on seeing the flexibility of the templating system, and, more importantly for us in terms of packaging, the speed and minimal resources it utilizes in generating the output, we were sold. (API documentation generation time was reduced from taking 80-100 minutes to less than 10.) You can view the results for yourself." http://devzone.zend.com/article/13643

This is why I'm concerned, if large projects like Zend Framework are dropping phpDoc, it seems to me the inactivity of phpDoc is not going unnoticed. 100 minutes down to 10..that's what I like to hear.

@gms8994 good call

*UPDATE: So turns out DocBlox is PHPDocumentor2 in disguise/re-branded. http://www.docblox-project.org/

Answer 1

Although I currently use doxygen, too, I have to post that PHPDocumentor is not dead. Instead the attempts made by the DocBlox project are joined to form the basis for PHPDocumentor2 which sports a brand new website. These days I'm not convinced it's production ready but it does already look really promising.
