Dmitry Monakhov has in particular added a lot of "torture tests", and found a number of race conditions in the underlying kernel code. He recently also sent a code refactor of the kernel code which significantly improved it and (shrank the size of ext4 by 550 lines of code). That being said, there hasn't been any real feature development for e4defrag in quite some time. There has been some discussion about what the kernel API's might be to support this feature, but there has never been a finalized API proposal, let alone an implementation.
