angers you enough to require a personal timeout, I really don't know what to 
say.  You call yourself the angrykeyboarder and so I guess that fits.  So far 
you have yet to answer the question I asked, so I will ask it again:

What problem are you having that you think this would fix and that is severe 
enough to warrant a stable release update?

This is the crux of the matter.  Your anger and denigrating tone are not 
encouragements to help you.  Virtually all of the people who have responded 
to you so far are here as volunteer developers.  Getting mad at volunteers is 
not a generally effective strategy for motivating them.  Mostly what it does 
is get you on their personal list of people they aren't going to listen to.

P.S.  This will be my last message on this topic, so good luck getting your 
update.
