Hi,

I don't think it's completely abandonned, but maybe it's been resting...
or somewhat matured?  I hope it's not dead.

Someone has an updated copy they were talking about releasing, but were
waiting for people to test.

I've been so busy on everything else inlife, I haven't kept up with my
contributions.  I can't just stop everything I am doing and devote 100%
time to this.  I can't just invent time from nowhere.  ;-)  But I can
maybe set aside some time to look at some things.

But I don't know the answers to everything and haven't been able to set
aside the time to learn the whole lib.  I only know the parts I have
written or translated (SnapX and IOElement / SODA Perl & PHP
translations). Nobody ever asks much about SnapX.  ;-)  There's PHP and
Perl code I need to finish and debug and commit, and in some cases, even
START (i.e. Perl Module).  ;-)  At the time, I didn't know how to write
modules or classes in Perl, but have since done some reading and
thinking and coding.

I dunno, maybe there are some other libs that do some of the things this
lib does, and there are probably some features this lib doesn't have.
But this lib has a lot of history and is GPL, which means you're partly
responsible for writing code if you want a feature or a bug fix.  :-)

About the heaviness of the lib, I have no hard numbers either way.  But
I remember there is a compressor, which may very well lighten up the lib
by collecting the used code into a single file.  I'm not very familiar
with the tool.  I wonder if it has the ability to determine which
functions are actually used, and include only them.  Of course, this
means you develop with the full lib, release and testthe compressed
version, but modifications to the userland code may require
recompressing if you're trying to use previously unused functions or
objects.

Please don't talk about DynAPI in the past tense while there's still
some life in it.  :-)

Leif
