The letter from their Facebook Page:
A lot of you may be wondering whether or not the Aether mod is dead. I'd just like to update you on the team's current status:
No, the Aether mod is not dead. We definitely plan to revive it at some point in the future, but we cannot say when. Mostly our plan is to revive not only with Multiplayer compatibility (that's necessary, obviously) but also virtually bugless. This could take a while.
As
for the Aether II project, we're currently putting it on hold and we've started work on a new project. We cannot say what it is, but it IS related to the Aether. We're really excited for it and will reveal more details in the future.
As always, we're sorry for the irregular updates; we're students who get busy with school and other life duties. Stay tuned
The team has started updating as of yesterday, this is what we have so far There's a lot of generation content missing in the picture, but we're working as hard as we can. And yes, this is all working on a server
Currently we're updating for 1.4.2, but as soon as this is done we'll switch over to the latest version. Updating to 1.4.2 will make future updating SO MUCH easier, since it includes all the server + client merges. [1]
Edit #1: And there's more!
We decided to change many of the Aether fences into their more appropriate, wall forms...
[Those crystal trees growing alongside the Skyroot are] new Blue Skyroot trees. For now they are purely for aesthetic purposes (in other words, just to make the place look pretty )
The Skyroot Fences are still there, no walls for Skyroot. Although, to be honest it would be kinda cool to have Skyroot Log walls. Not for Skyroot Planks, though. [2]
Multiplayer is definitely our top priority at the moment. This means that we want to implement features that are designed for servers: such as parties, guilds, boss raids, player currencies, etc. Bosses will be tweaked so they are harder with more players in the dungeon. [3]
Edit #2: And even more. This time they're soliciting opinions.
Do you guys think it would be a good idea to have both walls AND fences for each of the materials? For example, you could break Holystone Walls down into Holystone Fences by placing them in the Crafting Bench. Best of both worlds?
The only reason I suggest this is because Netherbrick has their own fences, but then again that was before Walls were implemented. [4]
Make Netherbrick from Netherrack and Hellstone?
I'll talk about it with the team We're trying our best to focus more on mechanics at the moment rather than content, but that definitely would not be hard to add. [5]
Our next step after multiplayer will most likely be to completely remake the generation, including all dungeons etc. It's really looking dated at this point, and there are so many blocks that we could use to our advantage now (walls, fences, enchanted grass, holystone bricks, etc). [6]
Someone pointed out a bug with the Skyroot and Golden Oak leaves following the old game mechanics for decay, which is significant because it means that leaves placed by the player will decay.
That bug is there because we implemented our trees long before the new mechanics were in place. I'll try to remember that for next release. [7]

I am planning a video on Saturday to wrap up these changes and possibly a few that may not have been announced publicly (possibly just rumors)
In this video we talk about the 1.4.5 incarnation of the Aethermod Including a new mob, new trees, a new and innovative mount system, as well as invintory changes and much more!
Into The Aether With SpitFire - Aether mod SMP Update
In this video we talk about the newest aether update! hopefully we will soon get an aether mod download but in the meantime we should just keep our eyes out for the aether mod 1.4.2 to come to a computer near us.
thank you once again
i would add an aether dragon that when killed would drop an egg that you could hatch and then raise the dragon until its mature and once that happens you can ride it into and out of the aether without the need of a portal
In this video we talk about the many changes in the aether mod including many changes to the accessory system and some less subtle changes you may notice.

make a feature request on the Aether Facebook page, you never know. They might like the idea as much as I do

There was a release for 1.2.5 but it is rather buggy. i believe it was only posted on their facebook page. in order to make this (bukkit) a reality the forgebukkit team would need to continue updating however it looks like they might be down for the count.
