There are two flavors of simulavr: the one written in C and the other
in C++ (formerly simulavr++) in Git repo.
Last commit into the C variant was 2009-03-05 and yes, the 0.1.2.6
version you are using is the newest, unfortunately. [1]

The C++ variant is is/was developed more recently, last significant
changes were several months ago.

I think the C++ variant currently has superset of features of the C
variant. It also supports ATmega8 (thanks to Ivica Safranko). Consider
migrating to the C++.

So, is it the C variant maintained? Maybe. There are some patches for
C waiting to be commited.

(I am not familiar with the C codebase, so I am leaving the
responsibility of committing them to others.)
