I can't say it is much more active or maintained, but I would suggest to
look at lasem, a library I'm working on for several years now.

Compared to librsvg, support for filters is a bit behind, there's no CSS
styling capability, and text rendering is even worse than librsvg.

But it has a DOM like API, is quite fast, and has a large test suite.

Plus it also can render mathml equations.
