Last week a new version of GeoToad was released.

3.14.6 fixes the issue that was triggered by the Oct 6 site update -
sorry it took so long, but the bug was a tricky one and I was on
vacation...
Thanks to Yves Oesch, text and HTML output were fixed on the go.
There's now also some attempt to avoid "encoding error" crashes when
using ruby 1.9 - reports whether this works on Windows (from the
source package, of course) are much appreciated!

Also, there's another development version, 3.15.1, which adds some
features (check the Issues page for "Started" issues), and also a new
bug (issue 220) with a known workaround... Apologies for that, things
happen... (and the TUI isn't well-suited for automatic testing) but
better here than in the official release!

Unfortunately, I don't have a MacOS machine (with Developer Tools or
what it's called now) at hand, so I cannot build a dmg package. Sorry
again. (Anyone? It should be as easy as "check out SVN, run tools/
makedist.sh"...)

The project page at FreshMeat doesn't get updated anymore. This
results in downloads of outdated versions - good to have a version
check built-in ;)

For the next version, I'd like to get some feedback:
Which features do you request most? Which ones are missing?
I can see that the project has been starred by 57 users, but the top
"rating" of open issues currently is 3. Am I wrong to suppose that the
star count reflects the relevance of an issue? (I just became a
GeoToad coding Sophomore a few days ago... forgive my ignorance.)

My - yet inofficial - plan is to have another major release on
11-11-11 - and of course it should be perfect (at least until another
site update breaks it)!

I had short access to a MacBook with XCode installed, and used the time to build a 3.14.6 dmg package.
Apologies that there's no 3.15.1 for now.
Caveat: I have absolutely no means to check whether the package is functional. Feedback is welcome.
