I've got version 1.1.3 on the bench right now. It'll bring DAW automation for most sliders, plus I've added a sick musical drive/distortion effect at the end of the chain.
I'm considering dropping further Linux support, however. Not a single Linux license has been claimed to date, and the Linux builds take me roughly five times as long to produce as the Windows and Mac versions combined. A fair few weekends went into setting up and maintaining those environments, including a good amount of hands-on support — and so far not a single license has come of it. It's a little disheartening, honestly.

More news as 1.1.3 gets closer, maybe I'll have it done later today. Thanks as always for the support!
Don't drop Linux support. You worked this hard to get it. I'm going to tell you some things that I hope you'll be understanding on. I have not personally purchased yet, because I've been waiting for things to stabilize with the Linux version, and I've been hoping for some automation support. It sounds to me like you are getting started with automation, so I'm nearly ready. You just barely started offering it for sale. You've only given a few days for anyone to purchase. You've priced it right. I see nothing wrong with your asking price.

I PM between other Linux users here, and one person held concerns that you didn't seem too committed to Linux, and he was worried that you'd drop support right after he paid for it. Your comment above and previous before that, doesn't instill confidence with the Linux userbase. Don't quickly drop support right after offering it. Give things some time. Commit to at least a year. I know that I personally don't want to buy something that is going to become immediately abandonware. Once people have confidence in it, I'm com also confident that it will sell well. Like I said, the price is right, and IIRC, you just use serial # copy protection, which we Linux users prefer, so it's bound to be a hit if you don't give up on it so soon.
Vendor‑Dependent Copy Protection: Customers lose. Pirates win.:mad:
(Also: I'm Accused of lying about Linux—it boots, runs my pro audio workflow, stays stable, updates--though yearly dismissed as “niche”. Yet I'm the deluded one.)
