I've been through a total living hell for the past year but I am absolutely determined to get things back in order and its looking like I am finally there. I will very soon have a BETA version of D2009 to test. The changes made are very wide sweeping. This has been a tremendous amount of work and it is going to take a while yet before it is finished. Almost every aspect of IBO has been hit by these changes. But, it will be good to finally make this transition into Unicode. I'm not complaining.

Thanks a lot for the news, Jason.

1. Because of these changes (and the ones to come, see bellow) IMHO,
perhaps it's better to use a better infrastructure for the project. I
think specifically, to have the project hosted on eg. SourceForge.net.
You have a plethora of tools there (I think at SF's new tracker
primarily - for a quick look see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?group_id=176962&atid=879332) which will
help us to advance faster the project. I don't mean to open source the
code there, neither to abandon this mailing list (even if you can have
much more on SF: mailing lists, forums, wiki, etc.), just to use from
there what we consider appropriate for our project from SF.

2. Here comes the "Weaver"!!!

...the new RADStudio is scheduled to enter in Beta from April 2008.
Everyone interested can join! ;-) Highly recommended...
