For the purposes of the Shibboleth SP, yes, for anything else, it's never been supported in any meaningful sense. The code has no future in general, and is built on XML libraries that are de facto unsupported, I'm forced to keep them plausibly viable only for as long as the SP exists in this form. All this code is destined for the scrap heap this decade, as I have been public and vocal about on the relevant lists.

That's more or less referring to Java. The C++ code never had any sort of online presence to speak of though there were materials in the wiki in the early days.
