Re: [ANN] Idle v1.01

[Thomas Lauer <thomas.lauer@...>]

I already did a limited source code release for some people with special
needs; it turned out that releasing source code is not as
straightforward as I thought. Additionally, I am off my machine for
extended periods of time; this doesn't help either.

But I will release the source code RSN;-) probably sometime in July.

Cheers Thomas
