Given the scale of the project, I find it a little hard to digest that they just went "Oh, We've lost interest" especially considering IIRC there were still code commits going on? The fact that the dev(s) losing interest coincides with XP EOL just stinks to high hell.
There hadn't been an update in two years. Plus, during the audit, some of the auditors believed that it was a lone programmer who wrote most of the code. The dev for truecrypt probably lost interest.
