Susie called Joe in Aspen and explained the situation to him. It was the first of many gut-wrenching ironies she and her husband have faced in Haiti. “I was causing the kids to live, and they didn’t have any room for them,” Krabacher said. They were used to the kids dying ” not living and consuming valuable space and resources. After a month, hospital administrators ordered her to stop caring for the infants or move them elsewhere. ![]() She started visiting the infant-care unit every day, feeding the kids, applying bandages and medicine to their open wounds and simply holding them. I had never seen so much pain,” Krabacher said. In some cases, live babies shared cribs with dead ones who hadn’t been removed. The heads of some of the babies were actually growing around the iron bars in the cribs because the children hadn’t moved in so long, according to Krabacher. Overwhelmed doctors and nurses had little time to do anything for the 200-or-so kids.

Krabacher went to Haiti and was immediately hooked. He convinced her it made little sense to help children in Asia when such poverty existed just 500 miles off the Florida coast. With no children of her own, she was preparing to visit Mongolia and help children there when another member of the Aspen congregation implored her to visit Haiti with him.

Working from home has also affected the schedule, and some features have just taken longer than we expected to come together. 64-bit macOS support was originally planned for v5 and releasing v4.3 early took a lot of resources, so we've had to prioritize more v5 work since then. ![]() There are multiple reasons why we haven't been doing frequent releases. We have a generous upgrade policy, but we're not ready to commit to a release date for either the beta or final release, and can not guarantee that purchasing now will be a free upgrade to v5. That said, we want potential customers to buy based on what's in the product now. There will be other enhancements that we're not ready to discuss yet. I can also confirm that we're working on dark themes for all three platforms. We've already announced that word wrap will be a launch feature. We're currently in the middle of v5 development.
