Lately.. After releasing 0.7 we were a bit out..

Nibble and edu, the other two developers are pretty busy irl, but they will be 
up in a month or so.

I've been fixing bugs in code and the build system, and i have also optimized 
some parts of r2... Still lot of work in this area. And i plan to make r2 0.8 
faster than any other release.

Other focus for 0.8 are debugging support for BSD systems..actually its known 
to work on OpenBSD.. And porting the actual code to netbsd or freebsd is just a 
few line patch.. But i need some time in order to setup the vms and do it. If 
you are interested on this. Please, let me know which compile errors you get 
and we can try to solve them.

Eloi, a friend who is working on the gdbremote and sh4 architecture support 
have already pushed some commits.. Actually the gdbwrapper library from eresi 
it's no longer x86 specific. And we plan to add a decent support for gdbremote 
for the next release. Sh4 debuging via gdb works as a PoC wihth the current 
code.

Another point i would like to fix before 0.7.1 is to rewrite he nibble's 
ragdiff2 in C.. So bindiffing code will be possible without depending on python.

Sh4 code analysis allowed us to review the ranal library.. And found some ways 
to improve it. Mips, arm and sh4 are really depending on code analysis to 
generate a decent branch flow.. So this is something that will be improved in 
the next release.

Debian has also been pinging me and reporting build error logs from esotheric 
platforms like kfreebsd on sparc.. And this allowed me to identify and fix some 
errors in the makefiles.. Those errors should be already fixed in hg tip.. So 
please give it a try and let me know :)

The plans for this month are to release 0.7.1 in order to allow packagers from 
debian, openbsd and arch to update their packages.

Eventually, and if I have some spare time... I'll try to get the gui in a 
usable state and release a build for linux/x86.

The thing is that after the release of gtk3.. I would like to port it to gtk3. 
But this will require some work on gtkaml to support vala 0.14 ..probably 
valaswig will need to be ported to the new vala.. And get in touch with the 
gnome3 human interface guidelines to make it even sweet ( multitouch, html5 
graphical backend ( use radare from the browser ), css styles, native Osx 
Support, integrated javascript with JIT scripting of r2 api.. And many oher 
goods..

All this stuff is great.. But i have only two hands.. And people demand a build 
asap.. So i will delay the port to gtk3 in order to receive some feedback from 
all you :)

Thanks for reading
