## Hey, It’s Me Again

Plain to you see again  
Please, can I see you every…..

Ok ok I’ll stop singing, didn’t realise my voice was that bad. You don’t have to be mean about it…..  
Anyway, sorry if this seems like a Cheap Trick to get your attention, just wanna make sure we hear your Voices…..

Going forward, it’s another lovely Friday where we are, woke up with the sun out and bright and I hope it’s the same for all of you, we have gotten a good bit of work done in the background lately and hopefully you’ll start to see it coming out soon.

## PDK Release

The PDK is once again ready to release, with support for several new OS’s being added alongside the removal of the internal analytics.  
We had originally intented to get some more done on the PDK before releasing, however there was a request for what we have already done to be released so you will have to wait for the next release to find out what else we’ve been cooking up.  
Regardless, all being well the PDK should go out next Tuesday, so you can look forward to that.

## DSC\_lite

Some of you may remember the dsc\_lite module, well we have decided to take it into our warm embrace and give it some tender love and care.  
The work has only just begun so I wouldn’t expect anything big to come immeaditely, however you can expect to see some movement on it in the future.

## Final Thoughts

Hmmm, I guess that’s me done, time to break out the running shoes and enjoy the sun for a bit.  
Have got a park run tomorrow and need to be in good condition for it.
