So sorry to hear this Daniel! I feel what they have done here is so wrong, but I have noticed they are very totalitarian in their processes. To do this to someone who has contributed so much though is really stupid on their part! I will definitely be forking here as prior versions fit my needs perfectly and I have no interest in being a part of whatever this is they plan to change it into. I hope you do not mind the occasional question every now and then. I owe you so much in addition to the great softwareI feel like I have become friends here with you, Ben Armstrong, and Challis. I am sure this is not the end of where your amazing talents take you please keep me in the loop and THANK YOU.
