Yeah, EasyList has been updated this morning (Sept 10) now.
I'm not sure the current story with Adblock... development stopped, then someone else started it, then it ended and was on Mozilla's list of inactive projects, now I guess it is going again? Something like that anyway. But Adblock Plus has been pretty good, so I've just been using that, plus it includes automatic subscription updating so you don't need an additional plugin like Filterset g.
