Upon an expansion of all of the searches for redshifted HI 21-cm absorption(0.0021 < z 5.19), we update recent results regarding the detection of 21-cm inthe non-local Universe. Specifically, we confirm that photo-ionisation of thegas is the mostly likely cause of the low detection rate at high redshift, inaddition to finding that at z < 0.1 there may also be a decrease in thedetection rate, which we suggest is due to the dilution of the absorptionstrength by 21-cm emission. By assuming that associated and interveningabsorbers have similar cosmological mass densities, we find evidence that thespin temperature of the gas evolves with redshift, consistent with heating byultra-violet photons. From the near--infrared (3.4, 4.6 and 12 micron) colours,we see that radio galaxies become more quasar-like in their activity withincreasing redshift. We also find that the non-detection of 21-cm absorption athigh redshift is not likely to be due to the selection of gas-poor ellipticals,in addition to a strong correlation between the ionising photon rate and the[3.4] - [4.6] colour, indicating that the UV photons arise from AGN activity.Like previous studies, we find a correlation between the detection of 21-cmabsorption and the [4.6] - [12] colour, which is a tracer of star-formingactivity. However, this only applies at the lowest redshifts (z < 0.1), therange considered by the other studies.
