ACME assembler official branch?

I was told that there are now multiple branches of the ACME assembler.

https://github.com/meonwax/acme
https://github.com/martinpiper/ACME

...are both of these are updated within just a few weeks time, and then there is a sourceforge repository which hasn't been updated since 2013:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/acme-crossass/

...and I seem to remember that there are other versions of ACME floating around as well (I might confuse it with DASM). There is even a javascript port of ACME 0.91 at github. :)

My question is which of these ports that would be considered more "official" than the other, if any, and if there is really a good reason to maintain them as separate branches in the first place? Anybody knows more?

Hi all!
Basically, what Count Zero and Groepaz said: The official repo is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/acme-crossass/ and the 2013 date on the front page is not the date of the latest source changes.
The windows binaries at http://www.emu64.de/acme/ are "official", they were stored there because the windows port maintainer initially had no write access to the project page (my fault), and later he just kept on doing it this way.

I know of several forks, but only because I accidentally found them. Some of the changes have been merged, for example Martin Piper's "--msvc" switch (found it as an archive, not a repo) and also "symbol dump in VICE format" (Martin, was that also done by you?).
Other changes are still waiting to be merged, like Eloraam's virtual "65EL02" CPU (see http://www.eloraam.com/nonwp/redcpu.php), though that project might be abandoned now.

Martin: Sorry if I have overlooked your mails, when did you send them and to which address?

I'll check out the two forks given in post #1 for further changes, thanks.

I hope this helps. Have fun!

I did do a VICE label dump a well. Emails were sent over two years ago. Don't recall which email address.
