This year, lot of efforts seems to have been put on connecting websites with Google Plus profiles and no updates to the Google PageRank toolbar in months.

Does this mean PR won't be updated any longer and maybe something new like Author Rank is introduced?

Google started to add too many manual overrides to make this whole PR thing essentially worthless.
