It's not quite as dead as it seemed. At any rate, in August they 
announced the end of development. Then in January, they announcded a new 
beta: http://www.object-arts.com/content/news/x61beta1.html

I think Object Arts found it a struggle to make a living from Dolphin 
Smalltalk which is why the developers were forced to take on other work. 
But many existing Dolphin users were reluctant to let it go. Hence, its 
'second life' (albeit, I suspect at a more laid-back rate of 
development). It would be a great shame if Dolphin Smalltalk just faded 
away. It's a lovely product.

best wishes
