MapText Labeller - Enhancement and Upgrade

MapText Labeller is an awesome plugin for producing labels in FME. However, it seems a little out of date with expected FME functionality.

 

Specifically, I was wondering if there are any plans to update the plugin to include functionality such as :

* Allow Ground Units to be linked to an attribute rather than a parameter.

* Allow ground units to not have to be available at the start of a workbench so they can be derived from a calculation in the workbench and then used.

* Allow things such as text size and font style to be linked to an attribute.

* Provide a group by functionality so you can pass multiple map frames into one transformer. Currently you need to use a looper as a workaround.

* General upgrade - the map text labeller version that this plug in is using is quite behind the actual version Maptext uses outside of FME now.
