And the item to be noticed is the item "About the current situation" written at the bottom. Among them, SAI developer Koji Komatsu wrote as follows.

I'm really sorry for the people who were expecting me to stop updating for a long time. Although it is only an excuse, the slump began gradually from around the end of 2009, and in 2010 it became severe and it was impossible to write a program properly. After that, gradually began to slip out of the slump around the end of 2011, now it was able to regain motivation to about 80% somehow.

By the way, about the development situation of SAI, I am rewriting the new source code by canceling all Ver.1 source code from around the end of last year. Also, you are well-informed about what you are told ... etc, but it is still far faster to redesign with the current technology than to add distortion to the distorted source code that kept building by fumbling It came to the judgment that it was. Although I can not say that we are expecting so much now, I believe that we can keep watching carefully for a while, as we are ready to arrive at completion anyway.

In addition, the rough policy is as follows. Operation system etc follow Ver.1 and we will develop it just to improve performance.
· The version is 2 series, but it is free update
· Prepare 32bit version, 64bit version
- Completely correspond to multicore
· Perform all additions that were planned for Ver.1
