For an unknown reason the link for the forwarder didn't show the latest version, and it was replaced by a direct link of version 4
Also the blog is offline. I was forced to move data... and something went wrong. I'll post when it will be up. Anyone who subscribed before, will probably need to subscribe again after the move (and the update). |
