Whether or not these things should go in the same document or not, I won't purport to judge, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to offer them anyway. LibAST: Although this has historically been a miscellaneous/random utility library, I'm taking steps to improve its usability. Specifically, I'm in the process of documenting the entire API using Doxygen to make it easier for other developers to make use of what it offers. I'm also planning to work on cleaning up some of the namespace issues. LibAST currently implements a fairly complete Object model, including inheritence, polymorphism, interface classes, and more. This object model will be used heavily in future Eterm development to simplify compile- and run-time capability customization. The interface mechanism will be especially useful for making pluggable rendering, screen data storage, and configuration engines. Eterm: The 0.9.x branch of Eterm development is essentially in bugfix mode. I will continue maintenance and periodic release of this codebase while 0.10 development proceeds. The 0.10 branch is where all the fun stuff will be happening. That said, non-developers should beware of using it, since part of the development process will involve ripping out large portions of code and reimplementing them in a more OO fashion, which of course means things will break. Hopefully, however, the end result will be one of the most powerful and feature-rich terminal emulators in existence. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
