WRT "currency" of NASM, development appears to be continuous, with the current release out 5 months ago in February of 2015, the previous one in October of 2014, May of 2014 before that one, etc.
While a lot of [useful] projects may become "abandoned", it would be premature to label NASM as one of them - and not really fair to its maintainers either.
