No there is no update. There was something planned (beta in June 05, release in Nov 05) but then PayPal bought the lot and the software update has been pushed off to integrate new features (June 06 is what I've heard by way of rumor)
Still, the COM interface is dead and I'm moving on. I don't expect it to ever work again. I have not yet started construction on my new method, but I am anticipating to use the XML structure along with Witango's built-in @URL to do the communication. If that should fail me, I'll probably fall back to that built in object (winhttp 5.1 I think?). I'm curious to see in the bean can be used as a stable communication mechanism for the XML method. I've always stayed away from beans since they always seemed to be trouble (causing crashes and other unpredictable behavior). But I admit that's an opinion I formed 3-4 years ago when COM was at it's best and java was still a bit sketchy.
