This is the update that I received from Questionmark this week:
"I have consulted with our product development team and we are not planning on making any updates to the BB connector and will instead be releasing an updated LTI connector. Unfortunately we don’t have a confirmed timeline at the moment for this. It looks like it will be at some point later in the year for customers who are on our OnDemand service."
We are looking to try the current version of the LTI connector but have had problems configuring it so have a support case open with QM so that we can try it. If the new LTI connector is released "later in the year" then this may be after our summer upgrade window and we are currently using QM in-house so don't currently use the OnDemand service.
Thanks

I had seen this connector in my investigations but I must admit that I dismissed it as it hasn't been updated since 2014. Are actively using it?

Are there features missing from the current LTI integration for Questionmark Perception that you need? See:
http://projects.oscelot.org/gf/project/lti-qm/
for further information.
