Thomas Covenant is still ongoing?

Unfortunately, yes. I love the series and Donaldson's work in general, but he never should have pulled this one out of mothballs. The final book of the second series (regardless of how you felt about the quality) had a solid, definite ending. It should have stayed The Ending. So while I love Donaldson and Thomas Covenant, I dropped this "'Final' Chronicles" series after about a book-and-a-half. I would have rather seen him do something along the lines of his "Gap Cycle" SciFi series—his finest writing in my opinion.
He's such a versatile writer and he should have known better than to try to reclaim past glory.
