According to a recent edit on
Daggerfall:DaggerXL,
"On December of 2015, the XL engine is now open source and available to the public, with plans for the Beta 1 to be released in 2016."
Additionally, you may want to have a look at
http://www.dfworkshop.net, another conversion of Daggerfall.

There's some quite active discussion of XL Engine's development in the
forums. The author,
luciusDXL, has been working on completely reverse-engineering
Daggerfall,
Dark Forces and
Blood so that their implementation in XL Engine is a 100% accurate reconstruction of the respective games.
Here's the project's
roadmap for the near term:
luciusDXL wrote:There are currently 5 milestones:
Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3, Beta 4 and Beta 5.
Beta 1: the initial release, all the games previously stated should be working at 100% with the exception of multi-player. As stated before only software rendering will be available but higher resolutions will be supported.
Beta 2: the OpenGL 3.2 device should be implemented and true 3D hardware rendering support added - basically Daggerfall will surpass previous builds visually in addition to being gameplay complete.
Beta 3: the "Unified Sector Theory" release - perspective correct hardware rendering for 2.5D games. At this point Dark Forces should surpass the current build visually in addition to being gameplay complete.
Beta 4: will add support for Linux and OS X.
Beta 5: the "Multiplayer" release - add multiplayer framework and support for certain games (such as Blood).
The GitHub page now has the most up to date version of the roadmap.
