As previous posts announce, latest developments were driven by my
Master's Thesis held in the University of Granada. Last week I defended
it and now I am, officially, a software engineer  The document is
written in English; it is the best description available of all the new
core refactoring and an interesting read if you want to contribute to
the project.

Also, a new release was made including lastest advancements in the core
library and some small user level improvements and fixes. You can
