This has been in the works for some time, but I finally got some cajoling to make me push it through. uControl is moving to sourceforge. It has its own project and mailing list now. Also, now bugs can be queried and filed using bug tracker.
The few who dig into the source code will find that it's been reorganized to make it simpler and less idiosyncratic. Hopefully, with a sourceforge project, a public CVS repository, and a mailing list I'll become less of a bottleneck.

So version 1.3.7 of uControl has a bug, whereby the Real Function Keys setting does not stick after the machine goes to sleep. While I'm busy trying to fix that, I might just be able to fix another bug in the process: if caps lock is mapped to something else and its light is on, when the machine is put to sleep it wakes up sticky.
Also, this version of uControl will not work nicely with Fast User Switching. Expect that in the next version.

I've released version 1.3.7 of uControl for Panther, which was made possible by Adam Megacz. There was, unfortunately, a little bit of confusion over how the release of it should be handled. Some people are claiming uControl was "hi-jacked". Granted I would have preferred to release it another way, I don't think anyone should attack the person who invested the effort to make uControl work with 10.3. Adam has given us a wonderful gift and wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Really, it's not so bad.
Very soon now I'll be moving the uControl code over to a CVS repository on sourceforge.net. That'll include more access for developers, and more access for users, and I think it will prevent this kind of miscommunication in the future.

I had been beating my head against my keyboard for the last few days. In an act of desperation, I google'd for "uControl Panther" and came across Adam Megacz's site, where he actually managed to get uControl working again!
