I'm afraid the news isn't exactly 100% positive:-). You can read up on
the current situation here:

Thanks to Rick, it's useable now, but it's still has it's basic problems:-).
In combination with clam and bdc, ity should be OK though, especially
since you already pay for it (the updates aren't free, ergo the
software isn't free (of charge)).

Cheers
