Hi all,

A few people have asked questions so I thought I'd post a little status update.

The new_ui branch is now merged into master and there is no further
development in the new_ui branch. I've updated a lot of code in basis
and extra (and moved other stuff to unmaintained that I didn't want to
update). I will do a blog post about the API changes and other new
features soon. Please do test, keeping in mind that the new gadgets
still need some cosmetic tweaks.

There are still some things that don't load and pass tests, hence we
haven't had binaries for a while. This doesn't mean development has
slowed down or stopped, though; quite the opposite, a lot of work is
being done and we're going through a less stable phase. I expect
things to settle down in a week or so.

In other news, Daniel Ehrenberg has been working on our regular
expression implementation, originally written by Doug Coleman. Dan has
added some features and also major performance improvements; regexes
now compile to machine code, and as a result the benchmark.regex-dna
benchmark now runs 60x faster than before. Dan will also add group
capture soon, giving us a full-featured regex engine.
