  1. After six months of waiting, I’m glad to see this finally release! Thanks for keeping this going despite everything!

  2. Hi folks. A long, long time user (from v2.6.6 or so) and so, so grateful for your wonderful project which is one again underpinning my current D&D 3.5 campaign.
    Was very sad to see – but understood – the going archive post, but here’s a release. Does that mean someone stepped up?
    We can always hope 🙂

        • We try and make sure that any beta releases are as stable as possible. It’s usually just the first couple of version releases after a major release that are problematic.

    • There’s been some slow code changes, and more data additions. We might have another release first part of this year. There’s been some critical bugs introduced with the release process that are being worked on.
