Firstly sorry for the slow response. Development is on going and issues are being worked on.
We are doing our best to keep you guys updated. These fixes will be part of the next major update which is being worked on.
There is as you say a large amount of development going on, database updater change, MLAT, ShipTrax etc.. so please bear with us. We are working on it.
We hope they will all be addressed in the next major update.
