Yes, there are good news! You should have received a shop update mail now.
And the announcement.

Sorry that it did take that long to make it really happen. But I preferred to prepare everything
and announce it when all details are clarified and the likelihood of problems became small.

Instead of keeping the "hope level" high.

Great, this is definitively welcome!

BR,
Nikolaus
