The most recent update was 19 August 2001. See:

The proposed port of TR Log to Windows would have been done by W4PC and
others at Creative Services Software - not by Tree. W4PC did a little
research and concluded that TR Log users would not be likely to switch
from a stable, feature-rich product on a real-time OS to something that
(at least for a while would be) a developing, feature-poor product on an
unstable OS. You could argue that a better market to target would be
those who are not already invested in TR Log, but nonetheless, that's
why W4PC claims to have dropped the project.
