Hello Jasmin!

Thanks for all the kind words! I hope that the source code is actually
worthy of such admiration (; Please let me know what do you think about
the current state of the project when you have the time to test it -
quite a lot changed recently, so I think you may be positively
surprised (;

I was planning to do the first release for some time now, but there was
always something more to fix or just something else (not related to the
project) needed to be done ASAP, so the process took a while longer
than I though. I hope that a tagged release will show that this project
is ready for real-life use, but obviously with some caution. I'm sure
that there are bugs or weird corner cases in the code, but more
exposure (created by a tagged release) can only help with finding and
solving them. No project is bug-free, right (; Actually I'll be doing a
new project with STM32F4 and LwIP very soon. I plan to use distortos -
we'll see how will that work out and whether this project was worth the
19 months of development (;

There's still A LOT to be done, but - I hope I can say that - also
quite a lot is already implemented and working fine. I have my own TODO
list, but I'm also open to any suggestions for the features that are
missing - even if I have them on my list, I'll know that they should
have a highest priority. I can also share my TODO list here, so anyone
could sort (change/improve/extend) it according to their own
preferences, giving me some pointers on what features are considered
most important. Any feedback is very appreciated!
