Beta Status, Refactoring

Lately people have been asking me, "What's up with Ringlight?" There hasn't been much visible activity lately since the beta started in November. However, in the background things are still very much active and you can expect a new release soon.

All of my work since November has been in refactoring the Ringlight codebase (both client and server) to increase reliability and scalability. The beta test has been going great. Lots of bugs have been found and all of those bugfixes are going into the refactoring. The new Ringlight will be sleeker, faster, and generally more solid.

As soon as I finish the new version of the client and server, I'll start a new beta for the new Ringlight 2.0. Then I'll be able to get back to the web design and marketing side. A lot of people have been asking about the awesome new site desing. Yes it's done and ready to go! That will be part of the new web design phase after Ringlight 2.0 is out.

Thanks to all my beta users! I'll let you know when the new code is ready.

Hi,

Is this project still moving forward? There doesn't seem to have been a lot of activity this year, so I'm asking. I've been hoping for a product like this for some time now. Would love to hear what's been going on...

Please advise, thanks!
