This will probably be the last release. This project isn't "maintained" anymore, at least for now.
In my mind it's pretty much feature complete and is an interesting toy that I mess around with and use semi-practically from time to time.
In the future it may be the framework for something bigger but programming became an obsessive hobby for me so I've pretty much ceased.
Merlin is my magnum opus, my swan song to programming and UNIX itself. I find that I mainly spend my time on other things these days, learning and reading.
Perhaps one day I will return to merlin, but for now it is complete.
