Hello Abandonia, Long time no see.
Openxcom version 0.4 has officially been released, if you head on over to the site you will see progress on the remake is coming along very nicely .

Also some of the openxcom fans have been working on some Mods ( New Map Blocks, New Weapons, ETC ) that for anyone NOT interested in a pure VANILLA xcom experience can download and add into there games, check that site out also.

Please note: Other Modders are always welcome on both site so if you have a few Custom maps that you created a few years back , why not dig them out and share them with the community.
