Great news! :-) Just a little wondering, have you given it any thought about changing license ? Not that I'm all that unhappy with LGPL per se but I'm kinda bias towards BSD or MIT or similar for libraries, would by nice, in my opinion to see that change, can tho only be achieved if David Grant agrees. Anyway just wondering. Regards Helgi
