FWIW, there is still some progress in https://github.com/earl-ducaine/xara-lx (11 days ago) which is a fork of the original project.

I saw that, but it does not seem to have an active community (0 issues, 1 PR from the owner), seems to require gcc v5.4.1? Also since Xara, the company, still exists it's probably a trademark violation?

At any rate, this derivation is dead. If someone wants Xara, they can package this fork if they want to ;).

IANAL. But according to the project's README, it will be "debranded" under a different name.
