== History ==

I took over the sources mainly cause there were a few things in Alessandros version which I didn't like. But with the current version, I'm quite happy. There's nearly no feedback on the latest versions, too. Seems all users are satisfied :-) Currently I don't see any need for further development. Although there's a !ToDo list, there are no real show stoppers in there, I think.
