Exactly! The beauty about blackbox is that it is pretty much what it
aims to be, without (known) bugs. So of course development is slow. But
I have a feeling that Jeff Raven is cooking on something :-)
But I would expect some traffic soon b/c in the current state, blackbox
does not build with gcc-3.0. And that one is to be released on June
15th - but whether that qualifies a .2 release is not for me to decide.
