When a release happens, it will be posted here and on SourceForge.

It should help avoid confusion, especially with the extra source code 
repository that was set up.

I uploaded the archive to SourceForge when 1.0.4 was released.

Are you running your own DNS servers, or are you using a provider?  Most 
providers at this point offer some degree of IPv6 support.  I'm currently 
using the free DNS offering at he.net with no issues.  DynDNS does offer IPv6 
support also, albeit only with a paid account.
