Torsten and I just got an email asking whether RSS Bandit is an abandoned project. This is a fair question given how little activity there has been from us over the past couple of months.

The fact is that we're both pretty busy in our personal lives right now. I'm getting married a week from tomorrow and Torsten just had a baby. Since RSS Bandit is a project we maintain in our free time, it has suffered while we go through transitions on the home front. I'm about a month away from being able to dedicate any serious time to the project and Torsten is in a similar boat.

However the currently checked in code is a lot more stable than the current release since we have fixed or worked around a number of issues in Lucene.NET which we use for building the search index.  For that reason, I'll be releasing a new version of RSS Bandit this weekend which should be fix a lot of issues a number of our regular users have had with the last release.

Next month, I'll start thinking about the features I'd like to add in the next release and should be able to start writing new code again. Thanks for your patience and support.
