I'm using the development version now, but I'd prefer to leave my projects using a valid release of this module. The development version is always flagged as needing an update in the update status module. The release for 5.x-1.2 is not recognized by Drupal. There's no info file. The module also contains some bad code:

 function excerpt_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser) {
   switch ($op) {
    case 'validate':
   case 'load':
      if (trim($node->teaser) == '') {
        $node->teaser = node_teaser($node->body);
        }
    case 'load':
      if ($node->teaser=='') {
        $node->teaser = node_teaser($node->body);
       }
      break;
    case 'view':
      $node->readmore = ($node->teaser != $node->body);
      break;
      break;
   }
 }

Why two breaks for the 'view' case? Why two behaviors for the 'load' case? It looks like a careless paste job.

It's been several months, and it's time to have a proper release. Is someone maintaining this project?

Agreed.

Subscribing.

I set up my Drupal 5 Excerpt with the following excerpt.info file:

name = Excerpt
description = Allows users to enter a separate excerpt for nodes.
version = "5.0-rc2"

You can then remove the following lines from excerpt_help():

    case 'admin/modules#description':
      return t('Allows users to enter a separate excerpt for nodes.');
