Hi Tesla,
The last (and fifth this year) update on the website was
on May 10, 2012, I just dont want to spam the list
announcing each update. Though the next update in a few
weeks will be announced here: new Excel spreadsheets
will be posted, which were requested by several people.

Regards,
Istvan
