It is time for the Wide protocol to see the light of day. Version 2.0.0
has been released, and it's a doozy (at least from the internals point
of view). Many of the underlying subsystems were ripped-and-replaced,
from the basic block transport to the Apple ///'s screen I/O. All with
an eye towards improved performance and... finally, a file picker that
lets you choose a file from whatever the host is serving.
This is a "point-oh" release in every sense of the word, so if you're
daring... go ahead and get on the bleeding edge.

2.0.0 - May 25, 2014
New functionality:
New protocol (code-named "Wide") that makes transport more reliable
and significantly faster with tunable payload lengths
[Client] Arrow-and-Return interface for choosing a file to receive
[Client] Arrow-and-Return interface for the main menu
[Client] Directory listing allows for wildcard filtering of files,
paging forward and backward
[SOS Client] Slow driver-based screen I/O subsystem replaced with
custom code, significantly speeding up display
Separated ProDOS and SOS boot disks for ADTPro client; VDRIVE boot
disk remains common to both
Bug fixes:
When the server decides to abort, the new protocol will not react
to the "spray of commands" when the client (re-)sends data
that isn't supposed to be commands
[SOS Client] Keyboard interaction works correctly
[SOS Client, SOS VSDrive] Changing serial connected-ness to the
Apple /// no longer causes fatal SOS $02 errors
[SOS Client] Bare-metal bootstrap more reliable with timeout logic
borrowed from Speediboot and made prettier with a logo and
better display management
[Client] Hitting the escape key on the configuration screen truly
aborts changes; this prevents DHCP from requesting a new
IP address, for example
[Build] Re-architected 'Ant' build system to be completely
dependency-driven; allows complete granularity of build
target

Yes, this was an obvious improvement too. Thanks for your work on this

Or, if that doesn't work, does anyone (Ivan?) know when it will be incorporated into A2CLOUD?
Thanks in advance!
