I actually haven't asked Alain yet what he thinks about it :-) Since I currently need PostgreSQL-bindings, I just took his version and adapted it to my taste. The interface was hardly documented (its most serious shortcoming), which usually prevents libraries from widespread use so I also did that. Alain hasn't changed anything in three years so I suppose this library would otherwise have been unmaintained anyway? There is hardly anything left to add to this library so there are no foreseeable major changes. The new additions and cleanups also do not make such a big difference. If Alain wants to add or change anything, he will still recognize the code and can do so easily. I'd say it's safe to use the new version...
