Hi,

thanks for asking. He's in hibernation for the winter, it looks like.

Since the last release, 0.5.x, in May last year (oops, too long!), he
has seen some extensive work. There is a nearly ready version 0.6 in the
trunk. Some of the features I would like to have in place before
releasing I'm not sure I'll be able to make room for in the near future,
so perhaps a pre-release is in order?

The work since 0.5. includes

- major code restructuring, using javascript patterns
- documentation of "everything" using yuidoc
- quicker startups, sgvizler only loads necessary drawing functions
- preprocessing functions, map a function over the query results
before drawing, e.g., creating a pivot table, or converting URIs to QNames.
- including the html form to the js code
- better API, hiding functions, better exposing useful functions

The list of commits is here

What I would like to have in place before releasing a full 0.6 is better
logging and some proper tests of the API (to identify the useful
functions), updating the wiki, and improving the documentation with
examples and such.

Cheers,
Martin
