Any idea why the book "CouchDB in Action" is not published?

Hello,

the book "CouchDB in Action, Manning, by Chris Chandler" is listed on the wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/FrontPage).

As manning write on their website, it will not be published: http://www.manning.com/eernisse/

Any idea why? 
Obsolete regarding the tremendous CouchDB documentation and the free book online?


Regards,
Chris

Dear CouchDB in Action MEAP customer,

It has been a long time since the last update to the MEAP edition of
CouchDB in Action, and we owe you an explanation! Writing technology
books is a challenging process, and things don’t always go smoothly.
Rapid changes to the CouchDB product and equally-rapid changes in the
demands on our authors have resulted in no real progress for several
months. We’re now taking a careful look at this project to decide
whether we should move forward based on the existing content, start
again from scratch, or cancel the book.

We’ll let you know in a week or two what options you’ll have as a MEAP
customer. We appreciate your patience.
