Now I'm a little peeved. Richard said .... "He's one of about three people who keep going back to the Kickstarter list as some form of eternal damnation against the team, "
Forget about the kickstarter - I will say it one more time There was crowd funding for a new Sqlite library with a timescale of 3 months (lets assume i'm wrong - 6 months - whose counting) running at the same time as that "update" of 2016. Even if they were a year late that would be understandable but producing nothing at all smacks of taking from Peter to pay Paul (there I said it). Richard I understand that LC for FM is what they are betting the farm on and I agree with them - I am just asking for some transparency - resources allocated. I'm not stupid to think that a small team can do everything promised but would 1 person allocated to finishing off all the other stuff be too much too ask?
