As the director's briefing announcement mentioned for May, AutoHarp is fully licensed under GCP and Aurigas. For those who are interested in a features list here are the features for both the Character Creator and Combat Tracker. If there are features that you would like to see that are not listed, go ahead and let me know. I can't promise to add all ideas that people have but it helps me prioritize the work I do based on user feedback for what they would like to be able to do with AutoHarp.
For Screen shots check out the blog for AutoHarp linked below in my signature. =)
Cheers!
