[atlas] Future of Software Anchors

Hi Lukas,

Great to hear you’re using Atlas :)

I’m sorry, we haven’t uploaded the latest repository because we are restructuring a few things internally to streamline our development process.
We will upload updated repositories once this has completed, which will include 5070.

Can you hold on for a bit longer?

Best regards,

Michel
