I think I owe you an apology. I should have known you were interested.
However, the reasons I offered XaAES to Aranym were the following.

1: 70 % of the response I got on XaAES came from Aranym.
2: 29 % came via personal mail from other users around the world.
3: Aranym is very close with Emutos, which now also supports (single tasking) AES
4: The traffic for XaAES on the mint list was almost indiscernable.

I made an appointment with Aranym to announce my withdrawel as maintainer officially
as soon as the new maintainers have a new release. This to maintain continuity
on te availability of XaAES.

Olivier Landemarre and Eric Reboux offered to become new maintainers.
Note that I very specifically wanted that XaAES were put in a CVS.
After those 3 years of working alone, I thought it was time to give everybody
the opportunity to contribute to XaAES.
