What’s going on

For those folks who are wondering what’s been going on, when is there going to be next release etc, here’s the answer:

Prior to 1.3.3 release, I voluntarily took over taking care of the ongoing project maintenance. Then Guenter kicked in for 1.3.3 release, did the great deal of work and early October we pushed the release out the door. Since there’s not a whole lot to do for 1.4, I was hoping to have it out by Christmas 2008, but that obviously did not materialize. Although I am still actively maintaining the project, due to the current economic conditions, I am also quite busy (besides my day job) doing some things not related to POCO. So, what does this mean for POCO? It means that things will develop slower than we would like them to, but they will progress nevertheless as our schedules permit (which has a lot to do with the overall economic conditions). We do not know when exactly it will happen and I personally hate not to deliver on my promises, so I will make none. Whenever we get an opportunity to dedicate it a proper amount of time, we will push for 1.4.

As usual – any help, be it bug reports, code, patches or financial contributions is greatly appreciated.
