Hi Dewey
Glad to hear from you Can you remind me how to clone that repo ? I guess my last year ssh key will still be good Last post is not included I have a couple changes submitted by Norbert to publish I have a plane to catch this Wednesday and will be back home only in November, however I think I will be able to answer questions posted in the forum. I think everyone will love this release I am very proud of and they will want it asap. Should I ask them to manifest themselves ?
