OLS is working great but RLE doesn't work for complex signals like SPI communications. Also, I would like to see 1%/99% ratios because with 0% and 100%, you miss the edge that was triggered on like CS of SPI bus.

25/75 isn't sufficient?
Give the guys a chance - the hardware's only just come out, the updates will come.

Yep, something like a clock signal will quickly fill your buffer, even with RLE. But RLE is by far the simplest compression algorithm, and it's streaming. Even the commercial Intronix Logicport (http://http://www.pctestinstruments.com/) only has 2kpoints with RLE, I think. The fix for this would be external RAM, and I don't think that hardware revision is due anytime soon.
You could try adjusting your trigger so you only capture the packet of interest.
Sorry, I wasn't demanding updates but I was simply pointing out some bugs or features I would like to see. I was also wondering if there were any one actively working on the FPGA and Java Client side of things.
I think there is no current development going on, just some minor fixes.
I guess everyone is waiting till the HW gets to people, and they come with some feedback :)
Me personally can see much more room for updates. There is a "Issue tracker " at the gadgetfactory's Ols page. I have added few bugs there.
Yes, we were waiting for the hardware to get into peoples hands before starting work on updates.
Now that it looks like boards are arriving I plan on starting a thread Monday morning to start working on updates. First thing on the list is getting rid of multiple bitstreams and putting everything into one bitstream controlled by the Java client.

Thanks for posting the issues you have found, I looked them over and have some ideas to address some of them as we work on the updates.
