Yes, I will release a version soon.

I am trying to get rid of /var/lib/lxc/<name>/* for the next version. 
That will simplify the code and the problems found with this approach.
Unfortunately, the old container configuration will not be compatible
(< 0.6.3), I left the old code for the destroy for now allowing to 
destroy the containers but it will be removed after this version.
