If you sent an e-mail, please re-send it. I corrected my e-mail to one where I can read the headers properly.

Most of the patches for this port have been upstreamed, such as the following:
More null pointer validation
Packaging Python modules into one zip file
Thread resource management

This means that more people can benefit from the performance and stability improvements.

The next version of this port, 2.0, will be based on Ren'Py 7.4.

Also, it appears that a native GLES2.0 library was made working for the Vita. I may take a look at doing a Vita port again in the future.

Better heap management and less fragmentation? I will see if using the virtmen APIs is feasible…

The next version will be released after Ren'Py 7.4 has been released. I may also take a look at compiling the Python files with Nutika and seeing if it reduces the startup time.
