Project Health
Ursa is moving forward, slowly but surely. We have released two versions-v0.1 and v0.1.1–since the last update.
Projects: Ursa is currently the only crypto library in use for Indy-SDK (i.e., the Indy crypto library is no longer used in this case) and Indy maintainers and contributors are working towards using Ursa for all of their cryptography. We have also been recently notified that an intern has completed work on integrating Ursa into Iroha, which is more good news (this was done by the Iroha team, so they deserve the credit here–not us).

Releases
We made two releases since the last update:
v0.1.0 : March 21
v0.1.1: April 24
These releases are early releases that are targeted at replacing the Indy crypto libraries while still preserving interfaces needed for eventual Sawtooth use.
