Hi Maria,
    Unfortunately, I don't have a release date yet.  For the time 
being,  I am programing it in my spare time while I use my non-spare 
time to try to make ends meet.  So basically it's a funding problem.  
But I do promise that I will try get a release ASAP even if it's not a 
final copy. 
    Thank you for your interest. It's very encouraging for me.
