I was a bit too optimistic about saying that pre-release version RealURL did not show much problems. It did.
I made an attemt to add entries to patch cache, so that they do not have to be resolved all time. Currently they are written to cache only when URL is encoded but not when decoded. There is a technical problem putting URL to cache while decoding it because at that moment TYPO3 is not yet initialized properly. It appears that my attempt did not work and I reverted that code. So if you used prerelease version, you need to go to "Web>Info" module and clear all RealURL caches because they will be full of wrong records. This does not affect work of RealURL, it just lots of wrong records.
Also I added a hook for extension to provide configuration to realurl. At the moment it will work only for generating autoconfiguration. Later it may be called for actuall configuration too.
Updated RealURL is below. I expect I will release it next week.

Any news on a release date for the new version of RealURL?
thanks for your continuous work on that really great extension. In my opinion it is one most important TYPO3-Extensions! I'm missing one major feature: path segments field in alternative page languages. I found an extension to enhance that feature(adaltas_realurl_i18n) which unfortunately does not work (anymore?). It should not be that much work to add this feature, i guess, but my skills are not that good to write really clean code which is worth to get part of your official extension and i think that anyone should profit from such changes, so i leave my fingers from it and ask you if it you could do it. If you need some money for the development of the feature, please write me a mail with your proposal and i'll ask one of my clients, who will profit from it.
Kindly Regards
Ben
