They were not :) 

I didn't release a new version since I didn't make any (if I remember
correctly) major changes from the previous release.  

I've been **very** busy working on commercial projets in the past 2 years
and some of my 'free software' projets have suffered a lot from that.
Please forgive me for that.

But! Last month, I've got a NeXT Cube, with OS 4.0 and some other fu. I'm
currently getting my hands back into OS stuff and think about working back
on GNUMail.app. On of my priority is rewriting it using IB and PC from OS
so I could better use and test the 'migration techniques' from OS to
GNUStep.

Thanks!
