Sorry for the long delay, folks - it seems that everyone in the project
has been fighting real life lately. Rest assured that we're doing
the best we can - as with any project staffed by volunteers, there
will be occasions when we simply don't have time to give it the
attention it needs. However, unlike many projects in which the users
depend on binary packages, you can always modify the provided build
scripts to build later versions if needed. As always, thanks for your
support, understanding, and patience. Anyway, here's the latest:
