Things went very quiet on the Yoshimi front after we lost Cal - understandably - but people have come together and added little bits and chased down bugs (I was even able to find one myself), and at last we have reached a milestone.
Yoshimi is now complete enough, and stable enough for the current maintainer to bump it up from V 0.060.10 to version 1.0
Now my latest development of 'Dawn' is run on it, which seems altogether quite fitting.
