That is correct. I was working on the problem. I was done with some of the
bugs.
I plan to leave it to an actual Sather developer/user so that it can get
proper treatment. I offered it to some hackers but I didn't receive a reply.
In particular, the person who's going to take sather ought to package the new
beta version as well as the stable release.

Eray resolves bugs in his local working directory and then sits idly because
he knows that it's very difficult to find sponsors and he has finite time for
book-keeping. On the IRC lately, I found a chance to find more sponsors and
began doing some releases. Next was sather, and unfortunately it didn't
happen soon enough.
Thanks,
