They release very quickly. I can only update this on monday if
I'm lucky, possibly later. It's okay if we add the 0.1.0 and
update afterwards I think.

Yes, see toktok.github.io or what it was. c-toxcore seems to be
where every client is moving to, why how and what reasons there
are that it came to be, I'm not really interested in. There's
just a pull request to change to c-toxcore for every client, but
not all of them yet I think. So we need both at the moment.

Sadly no.
