Well guys, it's been a hell of a ride these past couple of years, but for now I will be discontinuing development of EMStudio.
I apologize to EMStudio users for this, but at least the product is in such a state that it is usable. If someone is willing to step forward and take over development, I will be available for helping with bringing them up to speed on the codebase.
I will be posting what information I have in the next week or so here that pertains to how to set up the build system, and my builds page will remain up until the current binaries are moved somewhere else.

Thank you for all your time and effort!
Sorry to hear that you have to step away from EMStudio, Michael.
I have always looked forward to what new features you were working on.

Mike, thanks for all the time and energy you put into EMSTune, including the addition of official and user-requested enhancements, fielding questions and concerns, and for being such a pivotal player in getting myself and others where we are today. I'm glad we were able to meet in Seattle and Vancouver and hope that, despite the need to back away from this, we'll all still be able to keep the communication and camaraderie active. I very much enjoyed chatting with you about the different aspects of EMSTune and appreciate that you took everything I had to say seriously despite my lack of programming and tuning experience.
Regarding this project, I'll read through the open issues and publish my notes on personal compiles once I get back to KS. If you ever have the time, energy, or desire to do so, can you create a ticket which gives a general outline of which aspects you'd like to see better attended to, what future enhancements/redesign you had in mind, and what you don't want to see happen to the program (which would take it beyond your goals and design scope)...?
Proud of what you accomplished and still remember the early and intense coding sessions when you and Fred nailed the fundamentals down. Absolutely amazing momentum and results that brought us out of a difficult time.
All the best, dude.
-Jeff

Excellent call, Jeff. I'd like to hear this information too.
All the best, Mike! Whatever you get up to, I know you'll do well. You have a natural talent for software like few others. Kinda reminds me of me 10 or 15 years ago, actually. :-)
Fred.

I likely should have been more clear:
I'm not going anywhere, I'm just not going to be developing EMStudio anymore. I appreciate all the kind words, and I will work a "future direction" in with the state of the code I plan on writing up in the next week or two.

Cheers Mike!
BTW, your git describe output is bogus or from different repos with different tags. Those "StableTwo" tags have been published and should never be deleted.

Yep, unstable is from your repo, not mine. The other branches are still pointing at mine.

I guess I made that tag as an example for you, and nuked the others because my repo isn't/wasn't the single source of truth. I was probably expecting a release and associated tag to occur not long after :-)
