Not really:

    birdie/home/peter/src> diff -Nurp gpa-0.4.3 gpa-0.5.0 | wc
      31654  113267  954484

The source code is under the GNU GPL and publicly available for
free. That's not exactly what I'd call "closed development".

There was a deadline to meet. Keeping the CVS in sync and
discussing everything on this list would have meant to miss it.
So I just went on my way and produced gpa-0.5.0.tar.gz in time.

If you are willing to spend two months or so improving GPA, be
welcome to do it your way.

Currently I do not have the time to sync the new source with the
CVS - sorry for that. (For example, I would have to write a *long*
ChangeLog, and to hack my changes to the Makefiles into the various
autofoo input files - and I am not familiar with those autofoo
utilities.)

If you are willing to help merging back both versions of GPA, be
welcome!
