I've gotten more work done than I anticipated (or maybe there was just less to do than I thought) and I'm on pace to have an alpha release ready for download next week, barring any setbacks. I'm planning on Wednesday the 15th at the latest.
This release will get a lot of the bugs worked out, give you guys something to test map definitions with, and hopefully get us a good tune for Jojo's car. Simple map editing is all it'll do, with features like copying and comparing appearing in later revisions. I'm anticipating several bug fix releases to come out in the few weeks over that, and hoping I'll get a decent number of you willing to download and test it, whether you flash the images to your car or not. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to get a version out there for you guys.
I've also uploaded a new build of the demo:
