Life is not cooperating. I'm literally about to go bankrupt. Iron Lute has taken a much lower priority. However, it is not dead, just sleeping.
I have been working on a plug-in architecture that needs to go in before I want to check in any code, because it will really change the directory structure and CVS handles that poorly. I also have been completely reworking the interface portion with a new paradigm and I need to finish that up to some degree. Basically, all I need is about two good weeks, but even if I got them I'd have to dedicate that time to something more likely to put food on the table.
Iron Lute is *much* farther along than a casual glance at this SF site would indicate; I am currently cleaning up the code for first import into the SourceForge CVS. (Taking the opportunity to clean out directories, reviewing code I haven't touched in years, etc.)
I anticipate a Developer's CVS-only release by the end of July 2004. Sign up for the mailing lists if you are interested.
