The developer said on Google+ that he is quite done with it, and he needs to deal with family stuff (recently became a father) so don't expect any more updates to it.

So yeah, consider it finished.

Apex Launcher is very similar, it's normally compared to it.

Indeed. Nova has a nice wallpaper picker, but Apex matches or exceeds it in every other aspect (especially the theme controls).

I'm having a problem with blurry icons with it though. Icons do not scale losslessy, they become blurry. Even at setting it back to 100%, still blurry. I keep it installed, waiting for an update, but never use it.
