Developer Registered: Apr 2004 Posts: 2202 Location: Belgium	Updated the first post in this topic. I still have a few ideas to be worked out in 0.5, and to implement the search engine. 0.5 will probably be released next week, as I am not home this week as of tomorrow. _______________ --Dietrich (developer) UseBB roadmap, dev mailing list & weblog

I have thought of releasing a 0.5pre release but that would be too much work for almost no use. 0.5 is almost ready and most stuff has been tested very well.
