https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin looks actively developed.

Parity bitcoin has last commit on Aug 24, 2020. 
Rust bitcoin has last commit on Oct 12, 2018.    I believe there are changes in Bitcoin after that right?

I'm not sure what you're looking at but (a) rust-bitcoin had a commit (and a release!) yesterday and (b) "changes in Bitcoin" isn't very well-defined; in general, just because some changes are implemented in one piece of software doesn't mean they need to be incorporated everywhere. Almost everything is opt-in, so if you don't make use of a feature, you generally don't care about it (this is true for consensus changes, p2p protocol changes, wallet standards, ...).

Oh, you're looking at apoelstra's fork whose master branch is outdated. That's not the right place to look; use the project repository https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin

This should probably be in https://github.com/igorbarinov/awesome-bitcoin or https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Software rather than here.

I saw 2 rust implementations of Bitcoin.

Parity Bitcoin: <https://github.com/paritytech/parity-bitcoin>

Rust-Bitcoin: <https://github.com/apoelstra/rust-bitcoin>

They are not updated for some time now.
Are there any other up-to-date and viable rust implementations?
