As it's still a bit barebones my plan for the release is to review the settings, ideally set up a few components, make sure installation/uninstallation works as expected and eventually polish it a bit with the about screen artwork. As soon as it's in a publishable state I'll upload beta installers (.exe and .msi) and call for some help in testing. Unfortunately I've been caught up in other things lately, which is why I'm a bit behind schedule, but I've done most of the investigation already, so it mostly needs doing at this point.
