Absolutely. I wanted to get a couple quick fixes in for 3.8 since there's still a good amount of people using it.

Status/progress will be posted on Twitter (@OneCoolMofo) and my web site.

On a side note, thank you for your service LCN.

Deviation, are there instructions on how to upgrade from the 3.7 version?

[SouthEastSxS]

Hi, any news on getting this ported to v4.0.4u1. This is exactly what I am looking for unless you can tell me how to do it another way.

Many Thanks.

I have this on 3.8 and its a large part of my business income. I'm desperately waiting for a 4.0 version before I can upgrade.

[stemmy]
