There is hope for the universe....and SDCH isn't it. I admit it's all fraud! I tricked you all!
Now assuming that got everybody's attention, you should read the rest before using this release (or looking at the source).
0.01 is done. Please kill me =). The entire hub was written in 7 days (started last Saturday) and bugs have been plaguing me. There are still many I'd say. So please note that the code will be change in many places in 0.02 (I'm exhausted now - and I gave my word for a release).
0.01 is lacking 2 things that are in the interface. The user list is not updated and invisible status is not granted. These were causing a lot of problems, so they are temporarily removed. See changelog.txt in the package for details.
Good luck in wrestling with this beast =).
If you'd like to continue discussion on SDCH, I'd appreciate it being moved to my forums (for my own convience of course =). I wouldn't want to be reading the many bug reports here all day.
