I have the old one (5.x) installed and use it regularly. Is it still available for download anywhere? Would love for that one to be officially open sourced.

Oh, now that is interesting. Thank you for that piece of information!

It's at best abandonware, but the source will never be released officially as it now belongs to a random megacorp.
