Yes, now that the API for XaAES/FreeMiNT has been stabilized, I agree.

A new official beta is planned before the end of this month, or so I was told.
I intend to get back to more regular binary snapshot releases after this one has
hit the streets. I'll talk to Frank about a possible binary snapshot before this too.

True, this is a problem. And also, it is the #1 reason why I onces started the website.

No I agree with you there. I am for sure intending to release binary snapshots again,
and am in regular contact with both Ozk and Charon, who both has been contributing
in the past. 

Meanwhile, I encourage anyone here on MiNT list (or elsewhere too, for that matter!)
to share some screenshots with me, so ppl can see what XaAES can look like!

Okies, then I misunderstood what you wrote. No harm done ;)
