Hey, thanks for pinging. It is still in the pipes and coming. I tried to get it out the door before end of June, though then had a surprise two week work trip, and went on overtime holiday after that. In July I took a break from PC stuff altogether to unwind a bit.
Now reading back the message thread here, when I wrote the earlier message, I remember I thought I was in a "I'll get this out in a week" stage, but, of course that's how these things go..
The next firmware will come with a new GUI based settings utility, which is where the majority of the development has gone into. The card adds new internal diagnostics items that allow testing the different board features, and configuring its usage. There is one more item I am working on to add into the utility, after which everything should be good to go. Now that I am back to work, Hopefully only a week or two. Fingers crossed.
