Some issues have been addressed with the bugfixes, and the overall design has not changed dramatically. The previous version was run on a machine with 50 days of moderate use uptime suggesting reasonably good stability. I have yet to find any serious bugs with this release. Please feel free to test and report back. Note I am quite aware there are still quirks, but for normal daily use it works very well at the moment. Depending on the level of interest I will decide how much to develop it.
