0.9 Port Status

[adminnz]

What is the status of the 0.9 port branch. Because there are fixes for pretty significant issues in it.
For example the Lock.Acquire NullReferenceException issue with timeouts (#86). Which had the issue closed over a year a ago yet still hasnt made its way out into a release of the nuget package.

Has the 0.9 branch been abandoned and people have forgot about the issues it fixes?
If so should I submit a pull request for the master branch to fix this issue?
