According to Daniel I am currently the only active developer of the C++
engine. Before writing the above statement we exchanged our possible
commitment for future releases of Enigma.

As Daniel explained his current commitment, I should point out my
commitment to future releases of Enigma, too:

Even though Enigma is pure spare time project of mine I plan to release
all additions that I contribute. But as I cannot spend "weeks fixing
bugs" I will not manage a release with additions/modifications to the
physical engine that are not 100% backward compatible to the existing
levels. All other contributions - especially new levels - are welcome
for integration into a common next release!

As I would like to spend as much time as possible working on the C++
engine I would appreciate any help concerning documentation of new
features and testing of repository-trunk versions - is there anyone who
compiles and tests the trunk versions?
