The redstone project, http://redstonedart.org/, depends on the DI package, which is dead for quite sometime.
I wonder: is the project redstone also dead?
Or is there any plans to change this scenario?
It is a great package, however, the DI dependency is killing it.
Nowadays I have a version of redstone and DI with me where the dependencies within them are update so I am able to use it.
is redstone framework dead?

Yes and no, I don't think the redstone package will get any major release, but the author started a rewrite of all the framework under a new name but also in pause because of the DI package.
The Angular team planned to extract the DI from Angular but it is plan for 4.0. https://github.com/dart-lang/angular2/issues/16
As the main maintainer of the package, I can say that it's in maintenance mode. We still accept PRs, but I'm not putting any effort in any big feature or rewrite at the time.
I don't think it's dead however, but one of the things that is preventing me from doing more updates (for strong mode mainly) is the fact that I'm waiting for the new Angular's DI package to be extracted.
