I can assure you that this hasn't bit-rotted. It has been in development, but my work on Unity at VMware this past year basically took up all my free time.
I would be happy to have people who want to contribute and fix bugs. I plan to keep the roll as maintainer, and have a couple people in mind for a co-maintainer. If people really want certain things in or fixed, by all means, submit patches. Nobody has done so in a while and nobody's really been complaining about anything to my knowledge, so I haven't felt that a release was that urgent. Still, there are some important fixes in SVN, some of which were waiting for additional patches that I never got and only recently had time to finish up. I should be in a good position to do a release soon. Christian -- Christian Hammond - [EMAIL PROTECTED] VMware, Inc.
