Last update was Jan 25 2015. Has Taewoong stopped working on it completely? 🙁

You can find the patches for those and build DOSBox with these patches on your own. It's not THAT difficult, you will learn a lot and you are free from the whim's of someone else who might no longer cater your needs.
But why don't you just continue using an old Daum built (just don't use the last one, that one was broken in places)?

I don't get the point of having synthesizers built internally (except on phones due to platform limitations). Running Munt or Fluidsynth as a MIDI service on your computer is not hard.

Is the second latest good then?

There's one major benefit: with the synth integrated into DOSBox, the MT-32 or GM music is included in the audio stream of captured video, which is a lot more convenient than dumping the audio stream to a separate wave file via external tools and then manually muxing it back together with the video, hoping that you've got it synced properly.

What can I replace it with? 0.74 is too old and lacks features only Daum has.

DOSBox-X looks good to me. OpenGL seems to be broken in the latest official binary build (which is almost two years old), but they are still working on it. You can try to compile it yourself:

There's an updated binary where OpenGL is fixed (don't know if this is included in the latest official source):
DOSBox-X branch
Works for me, I can set custom window resolutions now, but they only work in OpenGL (OpenGL_HQ is still broken).
