Hi Doug, The last proper file release from upstream was 0.0.6 in November 2009. Since then, I've fixed a number of things (from typos to build fixes for some platforms), supported new platforms (mac osx, I originally added win32 support but the author then re-wrote that), etc
Any help in getting the patches merged would be much appreciated, I haven't had much luck so far. I used to send piecemeal patches with full description to the author, but since almost none of them got merged, recently I've started posting large all-in-one diffs instead. (they're not even all from me these patches, but I end up maintaining them) Also, another tool I maintain won't work without the patches I added, so if you ship the upstream version then I'll have to fork it to make it work with my tool (I really really would rather not).
