I have just updated the sourceforge project page with new binary and
source releases, versioned as 2.4.0.1.

This release is essentially identical to Paul Herman's portable
source, and will be the basis for all new features going forward.
Thanks much to Paul for all the great work!

A couple of important notes:

- I've not yet fixed the install.sh, and there are a few issues with
it. I will attend to these issues first thing (if anyone wants to
help, that'd be great).

- The binary package was built on my Gentoo 2005.1 box, statically
linked. The binaries should work on any modern kernel (2.4+), but it
is possible they will give you some problems if you have an old glibc,
as the gethostbyname() call still requires a modern glibc .so be
around.

- I am willing to post contributed binaries for other platforms, but
only after a few criteria are met, email me to get details.

- I am putting together a small roadmap and will post it after the
holidays. If anyone is willing to contribute development work, or
policy tuning, etc, please contact me.

That's all I can think of for now. It's been a long time coming,
hopefully we'll get some momentum now.

Cheers,
