I have started work on the remaining fft code. We had a few other things to sort out for the release (bugfixes etc.) so I can't give a precise timeline, even for my part of the work.
The major stall has first of all been the release of flint which took much, much longer than anticipated and over the past few weeks an extremely serious and worrying personal matter (which seems to be resolved, for now). I am not in a position to make any promises. But the work is underway. Bill.
