Main features of Xvid 1.4:

- MPEG-4 Video Codec library
- Optimized for highest picture quality and archival purposes
- SP/ASP de-/encoding support
- Open-source software released under GPL license
- Primary platform PC (Windows and Linux)
- High-performance due to extensive assembly optimizations

Important Notes:

- Jawor's stable builds are built on 24.06.2011 while the unstable builds are built on 13.07.2011.
- Jawor's patched build includes Xvid EncRaw while x86 & x64 version and x64 version have a 64-bit DirectShow decoder.

Only just noticed that an alpha build of xvid 1.4 was released over 1yr ago here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/xvid_codec.htm

are people still developing xvid?

The scene has switched to x264 for tv shows now so the amount of xvid content on the internet has reduced a lot but a higher quality version would still be nice.

Jawor's stable builds are built on 24.06.2011 while the unstable builds are built on 13.07.2011.
I just uploaded new 1.4.-127 builds (29.08.2012). The bitstream version number was bumped to 73, so something in the source code must have changed since July 2011.

I'm using 1.4.x build now and it is very stable.

1.4-127 is very stable for me. Already ripped my 1k+ bluray collections using StaxRip :D

A word of caution: as long as the 1.4.-127 branch is marked as "unstable", the Xvid Team can use it as a testbed for new ideas (and put some not-thoroughly-tested code there).

Nearly a year has passed. Are there any news about 1.4?

And Jawor's page is gone. :(

The page has completely been closed down and Xvid has gone into one of those quiet phases again. Not unusual part of its evolution so to speak!

I've moved onto H264 in Vidcoder. Only ever do the very rare Xvid encoding with a Staxrip old version 1.1.8.0 or reliable AutoGK now.
