Sorry about my silence, I've basically had no spare time for the past 6 months and I do not expect any change before summer at best.
I have a number of things sitting on my github fork, basically working but breaking backwards compatibility until I can improve them. Plenty of ideas, too, but I cannot call them plans until I have the free time to spend on them. So I will happily pick it up again when/if I can, but from my end the future looks uncertain. Nick
