Covering the milestones
Work is continuing as planned and version 0.1 was released for internal testing late last week. With a few more bug fixes to run down we're going to keep marching along to achieve the first stable version in the coming weeks. Now that we have many foundational aspects of the project completed, we are making faster and faster progress laying in the enhancements.
The next milestone will be version 0.2 with the proposed features listed below. At 0.2 we will likely put our pencils down and it will be the last release until we can get some comment, suggestions and support from users.
