What you say is quite true. I've raised this subject before simply because I
know how Derek feels yet I believe he's made many updates to the lib since the
latest public release.
I also have a demanding job so I can't take over control of the lib. However,
there might be folks that can make use of the Win32Lib SourceForge site
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32libex).
I'm just suggesting that we start with a release containing all of the latest
fixes before kicking off the next gen Win32Lib. Otherwise, we have somebody so
bitter towards RDS who's happy to sit on contributions that will be pointless
should we spawn from the old archive version.
This request is very old...
