Andrea, I found it and added your latest email notes to it:
Unfortunately, finding a volunteer programmer to work on these more technical programming issues has not happened. But I still hope sooner or later someone will turn up. I do have some extra "donatable dollars" but it would only be a token for the hours spent by a programmer.
I guess what Rob Prowell expressed in a previous email, i.e. "I would not touch CinGG with a ten foot pole" holds true for a lot of programmers !
MatN suggested a while back that having MantisBT to track bugs and feature requests might eventually attract a volunteer programmer looking for a challenge ! So there is also some hope there and I would not want to close any of the BTs just because they are old as they seem to still be valid requests.
As for now, we can still update the libraries, field questions, keep updating the manual with more detailed information, and I am still working on BT #638 of the DelayAudio plugin crash. Andrew has provided one fix for the simple case, but hoping to find a solution for both cases.
