That's great news. Thank you !
Even if it can't be installed on a shared server, it should still be
usable from a private one - and therefore usable for many people. Most
importantly, if it can be installed on a local server for development &
testing then that would be the way to go. The old on-rev client did
sometimes suffer performance issues due to the round trip time; on a
local server (or even the same machine as the developer), that problem
would disappear and we'd have a very responsive debugging IDE for server
code.
Thanks again

Not abandoned, it turns out: I asked about that in our last meeting,
and it's very much in development again. In fact they had a dev
working on it during our call.
They're keen to post an announcement when the new version of that is
releasable, hopefully just another couple weeks.

Maybe, but I'm not clear if it can be done from an ordinary CGI setup
or requires mods to Apache config, which would make it unusable to
everyone on a shared host.
I'll ask them....
