Hello John!

I can't say anything about Haswell support, but newcons works,
sometimes :) Just not now.
I've currently doing some redesign, so it is broken last week.
Hope I will done something for wide testing in a week or so, but I'm
afraid it will not be fully done to be shipped with 10.0.

I will let you and others to know when something will happen :)

Thanks!
