Ah, that explains a lot :-)

So summarizing, you try to code a simple undo engine before January without 
adding new features, and cleaning existing bugs new documentation?

He, I guess my recent work will serve you very well (fixing the memory leaks 
though I think most of them are fixed now, need to upload it, probably next 
week. Also the serialization of the peak load/build threads is very usefull)

Perhaps, we could still follow the original plan somewhat (without MUE) and go 
for an intermediate release, let's say Protux-0.26.0 ?
Then we have at least a new release, though no real new features except for 
the true context approach thingie ;-)
Also, a lot of drawing improvements are made allready, add some usability 
improvements upon that and there we have version -.26.0 :-)
