Hello Vladimir,

First: yes, I plan more updates in the near future. The pause in updating was caused by the fact that I was completely rewriting the code so there were no reasonably stable versions to publish.

The most important (and peculiar) change is that the whole autotest is now in C++. I'm not 100% sure it was a good idea but I could not stop in the middle; the reason is that string operations are very hard to do in plain C, and I needed lots of string operations for parsing the journals, and for the planned parser of the bug database. I will understand if you call me nuts - I was doubting my sanity more than once during the rewrite.

Best regards,

    Jiri Dluhos
