Hi (and happy new year),

We are working on a migration to OKL4 3.0 and should be releasing a
straightforward port (for 'in tree' builds though, not ones based on the
SDK) later this month.

We have done some work to support the OMG IDL, though it's not complete
yet.  It's not at the top of the priority list, but if it ends up being
an important feature for people interested in CAmkES then we will
definitely bump it up.

Components can't currently be deployed in different cells.

Ihor.
