I am re-syncing my wallet now...
Once it is done, I will send my donation soon.
I hope the new dev review the previous 1.6 alpha code by mkimid (the previous dev), and find a better way to handle the bloating issue.
I think at least jpc needs to upgrade level db very soon.
The new client works well once it syncs. Until then it sucks the life out of even the best of computers. I opened version 1.4 and synced with that. Then I opened 1.6 and it is working. The Dev should post the database online for download. It will keep people happy until a fix for the bloat occurs.
