Once I get dbf.py to 1.0 release, it will enter maintenance/bug-fix-only mode, and I'll start on the 3.3+ version. The 1.0 release will have the final API, support for Clipper tables, hopefully support for auto-incrementing fields, maybe support for .idx files, plus everything there now. .cdx files (and maybe .idx files) will have to wait for the 3.3+ version. There, now I have a roadmap to follow! :) ~Ethan~
