Please see the https://ciphershed.org project which tries to continue with development.

There is no publicly known serious problem there. But there are license and other
non-technical problems. You will get more info on devel list of project above.

There is full support for mapping existing containers (with some exceptions,
see man page).

There is intentionally no new container creation support in cryptsetup and
I am not planning to add it.
We will better invest time to improving LUKS.

You can use tcplay or older version of truecrypt for that (or ciphershed when
released).
