Hi Azoth

Yes, we've prepared the 6.5 release which is available for everyone. I was planning to announce it here on the forum, but we've had a bit of a delay in publishing the new packages on BWL. But the new version is ready and available for download here:
https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvil/releases

I've added two small fixes since the release was packaged, but they are purely cosmetic.

Also, I have moved the optional components into a separate mod that could be grabbed here:
https://github.com/critto-bg/ImprovedAnvilTweaks/releases

Just be aware that we've had very limited testing on this new release, so there definitely might be some issues. Let me know if something's wrong, I'll fix it.

As for feature/v7, this is currently work in progress, definitely far from a finished state, but it's there nonetheless for everyone who wants to stay in touch with the development. I wouldn't wait up on it, though, if you want to play. The new stronghold quest is pretty big, it'll take me some time to finish it, along with a few more planned changes.
