1.2. Source code

 * Informations: There are 3-4 remaining issues. Very few bugs and Mate hope will fix them next week. The gitlab code was forked from repo.or.cz which was merged with the github code by Andrew McMillan. We are really close but there are really *MAJOR* changes in Awl interface and some bugs require very deep debugging.
