Yes, 0.9 will probably be released in the next week or so. It's just a
cleanup release to reduce cruft, refactor, fixe little problems and
implement workarounds for things like SMB signing w/ NTLM HTTP Auth, etc.

I've never used mod_ntlm but several people have confirmed that the jCIFS
NtlmHttpFilter scales pretty well to thousands of users. The feedback has
been genuinely good.
