I am very very close to releasing the newer version. I am updating the documentation prior to releasing it as it will break 99% of the sketches written for the older releases. The reason Its taking me so long to get this out is I only want to break things once and there are some fundamental changes that just kept pilling up.
The release will be a 1.0 beta and it will achieve 1.0 when some stuff on the backend gets fixed, I don't foresee any additional functionality being added after I release the beta.
Time permitting I would like to get this out this week. Honestly I am shooting for tonight but I doubt that will happen.
