I couldn't find a clear description of the situation either; I've posted
the links with the relevant info that I could find, but I agree that
they don't have the complete picture.

My understanding is that the original author will no longer develop the
program (at least not as a FLOSS project) and that the only surviving
FLOSS project is the forked one, but I may be mistaken.

The name change also seems to be done more as a courtesy to the original
author than for a pressing need to distinguish two project, but again, I
only know what I found on the forum and linked above.
