Feigin's cohomology conjecture for the Lie algebra of differential operators

From papers

Let Dif1\mathrm{Dif}_1 denote the Lie algebra of differential operators of order at most one on the circle, and let Ψ3,Ψ~5,Ψ~7,Ψ~9,\Psi_3,\widetilde\Psi_5,\widetilde\Psi_7,\widetilde\Psi_9,\dots be the odd cocycles constructed or proposed in the paper. Feigin's conjecture. The cohomology algebra is

H(Dif1,C)=(Ψ3,Ψ5,Ψ7,)S(c4,c6,c8,),H^*(\mathrm{Dif}_1,\mathbb C)=\wedge^*(\Psi_3,\Psi_5,\Psi_7,\dots)\otimes S^*(c_4,c_6,c_8,\dots),

where the subscript denotes the grading. The conjecture predicts the full structure of this cohomology, but the paper states that it has not been proved; representatives for c4,c6,c8,c_4,c_6,c_8,\dots were not known, and the nontriviality of the higher odd cocycles remained unresolved.
