Hi all!

I'm very sorry. My e-mail filters made a mess and I was losing all this
e-mails. I realize of them thanks to Peter's e-mail, so a lot of thanks
to you!

I was not aware about the newer upstream version. I will work this week
on the package to keep it updated, so I hope to have the newer version
packaged during this week.

Thanks for your messages and sorry again. I will configure better my
e-mail filters from now.
