**The project has been stopped!!**

The development method has changed a lot be from the project start time to now, and there are many better alternatives in the open source community. So I think the projet is outdated, and decided to stop maintenance.
Sorry about for this.
If someone is still willing to continue maintenance, welcome to create a new project, it will be the best way.
