That is libtorrent, unrelated to bittorrent, no? (organizationally)

Yeah, maybe you were explicitly talking about the company BitTorrent Inc.

"work on new versions of the protocol anymore?" made me think of the BitTorrent protocol in general, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I think you're right that the BitTorrent company aren't directly involved in the protocol work, they seem to be focused on trying to push their plagiarized cryptocurrency project.
