That would be great.

I don't plan any further major changes, unless some critical bug is
found that would make me do so (but that's unlikely).

FWIW, notice that the library version number has changed, compared to
that of version 2.2 (from 3.2.1 to 4.0.0).

In the (not so) long run, the following needs be done in order to be
ready for the release: (1) finish IMAP client support, (2) revamp NNTP
client support, (3) write documentation, (4) possibly revise Python and
C++ libraries.

In the short run, I'm going to fix the bug you reported yesterday and
make an alpha release for you to package.  It should take a couple of
days at most.  I'll let you know when it is ready.
