==Current Status==
Thunderforce's milestone 1 (M1) address book release is behind its original schedule by about two months, and it's now being picked back up to move the project forward. We apologize for the delays in this project. Thunderforce now has a higher priority than it did previously, and a new developer has joined the project. The schedule will be updated to include incremental milestone releases rather than an all-at-once release.
