I had the opportunity to meet "someone" close to the LauncherX development scene.
He told me that a new release will come soon with significant improvements.
He had a beta running on his 665. Very impressive, even if all features were not implemented.

To summarize:

- global debugging
- improved execution speed. As far I've seen it's approximately 20% faster !
- needs much less memory space,
- active skins are implemented, unfortunately the new active skins are not compatible with the existing ones. :(

I think it's an April Fool's joke that's started early.
