[Elecraft] Linux/Mac K3 utility updates?

[Nate Bargmann]

Since this seems to be gripe day, allow me to toss one more on the pile.
:-)

I note that it would appear that the Linux and Mac versions of the K3
utility are becoming third class citizens.  The Windows version has been
updated as of January 8 but the Linux and Mac versions still languish at
Sept 2, 2010 releases.  I know of at least one important bug that breaks
the macro assignments in the "stable" Linux K3 utility that was fixed by
a test release sent to me by the author.  This fix still has not been
released generally.

What is the issue?  Is it time?  Does the author need help?  Is there a
reason the development project isn't open so those of us unafraid of
testing development software could help and provide valuable feedback
and code fixes?

Count me as a bit frustrated that the utility for my chosen OS is now
over six months old.

73, de Nate >>
