Message has started some preliminary looks at creating a standard library of collection classes with STL as the core. Currently, by re-instantiating the STL template classes in each module, we introduce a great deal of unneccessary bloat into the core. Message is also the man behind the new hook manager, a core modules that handles registration for and distribution of system hook messages. He has been looking at decreasing the size of his implementation, and improving its performance. I've also told him to look at fixing desktop.dll, but I don't think he was too excited about it .
Geek continues to be busy with a real life, but manages to help out greatly with PR and publicity.
We are very glad to have him around to help distribute information. Without them we'd be running really ugly web pages and would look a lot dumber than we do. We are currently working full-steam to get a release out to you, but at the rate things are changing, it's a difficult process. In the next few days we will be branching off the main line to finish up bug fixes and code rewrites for a final .25.6 release in the next weeks or so. We just have to hold the reins on some new features for a bit and fix a few things that I've broken.
