Hey kkozma,
I have full intentions of making a version that is 1.0 compatible when first version is solid. When I started development I was working with the latest SVN's, so I just ran with it.

Wile E.

Im happy to report that the development is going faster than suspected. I have released a beta verion to a few testers and if all goes well a inital public release may happen before the end of the week.

I have also tested it on a 1.0 version of MP client and it works fine! So I have removed that requirement from the initial post.

Keep a look out for the initial release.....

Update...

I have updated the first post with the most current information, and current screen prints. The way testing is going I may have the initial release out tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest....

Wile E.
