I didn't make much of the actual release. But the small signs are there, both in my signature and in the project Wiki (section "General Information"). Yes, v0.5 is officially released, and progress has been made towards v0.6 (<ctype.h>, <locale.h>).

The <ctype.h> frontend is complete, the backend currently only supporting "C" locale / ASCII-7. (This will change before v0.6 gets released. I intend to at least fully cover ISO-8859-1 through -16 by then, but I need the loading / saving code before I add locales.)

localeconv() was a no-brainer.

When I got to setlocale(), I realized I was pretty fed up with C coding for the time being, and put the project on the backburner (occassional bugfixes notwithstanding, Rink is really hammering my poor ol' PDCLib with his porting projects ;-) ).

Currently, I'm working on a pen & paper FRPG project I've been aching to do for quite some time. Once that is done, I'll continue with PDCLib "full time".

It would be interesting to port it on someones OS.

I know of several existing ports. Rink impressed me most so far, as he has an almost complete environment running on top of it (including a port of the Debian-Almquist shell). His latest bug report originated in his porting of GNU Make to his system.
