From what I've read I've gathered the following facts:

  • There are seven known such graphs.
  • Certain parameter sets are ruled out by the Krein conditions and the absolute bound.
  • Beyond that, little or nothing is known.

Am I missing something? I have read Biggs's report which lists all small feasible parameter sets and apparently this paper shows that (324,57,0,12) is infeasible.

Is something else known about this problem?

The complete bipartite graphs $K_{n,n}$ are strongly regular and triangle-free. This nitpicking aside, your summary is accurate.

an update of Biggs's list (complete up to 1300 vertices) is maintained here by Andries Brouwer.

for a list of open problems and research directions, a good starting point could be Matan Ziv-Av's recent presentations 2011 --- 2013 and conference paper.
