I would like to point out that the project is not dead. It is actually very alive, but I haven’t released any of these modifications because they are too disruptive. I am considering taking a more progressive approach, rolling back almost every change.

I have been indeed quite busy recently, which adds to the long stop in development, but I am resuming coding during the weekend, and hopefully I will be able to provide a couple of features I start to feel the need for.
