This is such a shame, the 1.4 version is starting to look really good.
Hopefully the author has some free time soon to patch up what he has so far and address some known issues, and zip it up as a 1.5
Save up the new features as a plugin for vb 3.5 so you can call it 2.0 - which also gives you (the author) some extra time to work on it.
Nice hack, feature rich enough for some sites I run and looking forward to version 1.5
If you read this please let us know if you have some time in the near future again to work on this! You've done a great job so far.
