StarUML is a very powerful, free and easy-to-use UML modeling tool, but it seems the project stopped. Does anyone know what happened? Is it possible to get a new version of it?

The last news item is from January, 2008 and there were lots on 2007 so if it isn't dead, it's at least on life support.
If you're looking for an alternative, take a look at Jude Community or ArgoUML.

ArgoUML does not support template parameters as of 14.9.2009, but it's being worked on.

Yes, apparently the project has been dead for some time now. The same can happen to open source and commercial products for different reasons, but fortunately there are alternatives. Check this thread on the project page: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1879127&forum_id=510442

At the end of this page: http://modeling-languages.com/content/uml-tools you can find a couple of links to lists of other open source UML tools.

The last CVS commit in SF was on 2006-08-07. If you go to the Tigris website it says that the project is being moved to SF and the Tigris site will be closed out. Sounds like Tigris is no longer supporting StarUML. Tigris is supporting ArgoUML, how they ever supported two is instersting enough.
So converted to SF and forgotten, I would also add that the Admins on SF are basically the same as the ones listed on Tigris telling me that the list of Admins may be old and not changing. Tigris people - duckbill, hyunsoo, jwnara, niklaus ; SF people hyunsoo, jwnara, niklauslee, plasticduckbill, staruml.

The StarUML tool is downloaded quite heavily, but development seems to have been abandoned as of 2005 with a stable release version 5.0.
But hey!! Just-a-minute, StarUML seems to have been rebooted as of (2010-July-19). Originally written in Delphi, looks like its being converted to an eclipse plug-in in java. Don't know how long it'll take to do the conversion though. Seems like there are two(?) developers working on it right now. Best of Luck to these guys. Anybody with experience in Eclipse plug-ins and Java wanna help?!!!
Refer the project news and an announcement in the project forums: "Kick-off with Java-based StarUML Project"
