Re: [Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf feedback, fix and improvements proposal

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hi Andy and David,

Thanks to the patches! Yes, I'm still alive and trying to get this
updated, but having no chance recently... Actually, I have a sorta
big change to the UI, and I don't want to release the next version
until this part is finished.  I have also received a couple of
patches and comments, but they're just put aside for now.  Sorry.

Yusuke
