We are considering using Sprint.NET as AOP framework along with other solutions. Spring.NET is a known framework, at least by name like in my case.
I try to find the informations about latest release and support but I can't find anything after 2012 to my surprise.
Is the project dead ?
Where is the up-to-date website/forum/support?
Google did not really helped me on that point :(

It is not dead, and it will not be in the foreseeable future. The . NET Core updates may have distressed many developers. They may not be able to use the major functions of the original platform due to significant modifications made by unifying the .
The . NET framework isn't dead; it just won't be developed by Microsoft anymore. Many other organizations are committed to its continued use and development, including Xamarin and Unity.
. NET and Spring belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack. "Tight integration with visual studio", "Stable code" and "Great community" are the key factors why developers consider . NET; whereas "Java", "Open source" and "Great community" are the primary reasons why Spring is favored.
We are pleased to announce that the initial basic Spring.NET 1.3. 1 packages are now available via the NuGet Package Management System. The following Packages are now available: Spring.
Despite having a dead website, nor being listed at spring.io, there is still (in 2015 at least) development activity at JIRA and GitHub.
It appears development continues in spring-net-futures, but there's only one person. As far as production usage goes I'd say it's dead now, but it might come back at some point.
Last commit there was Nov 2017. It's certainly dead now.
Activity started again in the original repo, but only ten commits in the last year (as of June 2020).

I found this question after doing a Google search for "spring.net", following the top link to springframework.net, and seeing the last news update is dated December 11th, 2012.
It looks like the project was resuscitated in September of 2018. The GitHub home page now shows version 3.0.0 (Prerelease) supporting .Net 4.5.2 and .Net Standard 2.0.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find that version on nuget.org at this point, so from the point of view of a consuming developer it remains effectively dead.
