Thanks for checking. This appears to be based on outdated project metadata.

Scriptella was revived and returned to active maintenance in 2026. The repository is no longer archived, Scriptella 1.3 was released on July 17, 2026, and there have been 48 commits to master since that release. master is currently the development line for Scriptella 1.4.

The current project status is documented here:
https://github.com/scriptella/scriptella-etl

Latest release:
https://github.com/scriptella/scriptella-etl/releases/tag/scriptella-parent-1.3

So the proposed “archived, no longer actively developed” note would no longer be accurate.
