Hi Richard,

I am not sure why do I need to keep justifying myself for you.

This one is fixed in trunk long time ago.

This is just show again that many (if not most) of your claims are baseless 
or based on some misconceptions.

Not everything that is in trac is an issue. There are indeed some long 
standing feature requests (like support for multithreading or performance 
testing). Some repetition. Many opened/reopened tickets for docs fixes, 
which already addressed in trunk, but I did not close them until docs are 
released (it is convinient for me to keep them open as a reminders). There 
are indeed few issues open last half a year, which might need an attention, 
but they are mostly with trunk changes, which you do not care about anyway.

I never said that. I may not have enough resources to push new release out 
and develop new features, but I am going to find a way around this, even 
though you are not interested to help.
 
I think from now on I'll liberate myself from replying to your posts, which 
are not helpful and only waste my time.
