Sorry about the delay in answering - I have been rather under the weather recently
. This has not been helped by me having IT related problems causing my development system to be out of action.
The new release is not going to happen now until the New Year as I am about to take off for my Christmas break, and as far as I know none of the other developers are interested in making the release. I will do my best to get it done as soon as possible after I get back.
