New development release

[Steve8x8]

3.17.2 is out, based on my branch rev 1206.

There's no "stable" release coming with this update yet - 3.16.2 will be released when 3.17.2 has undergone some more testing, and will perhaps get a few new features backported from the development branch.

I'm sure there are still a couple of subtle bugs - the "Nederlands" language settings bug really puzzled me for a while...
Please report bugs by e-mail (keep the issue tracker clean of things which don't show up in trunk), and follow the hints on the ReportingBugs wiki page.
In particular, OS and Ruby versions, locale settings, GC language, and debugging output are essential for reproducing (and then fixing) bugs.

Whenever possible, switch to Ruby 1.9 - 1.8 will become obsolete in less than a year. I hesitated to pack the Windows installer with Ruby 1.9 as the file size would grow by a factor of more than two, but some (not so far) day we'll have to bite the bullet :(

Enjoy your weekend (going geocaching, I guess? perhaps we'll meet somewhere out there?)

3.17.9 has just been released.
This is supposed to be the last release in the 3.17 series, and become the basis for the upcoming 3.18.0.
The recent addition of option -M with argument has been reverted as there seems to be no use case. (If you see one, tell me. The patch isn't lost yet.)
Since 3.17.9 moved the output templates to a separate directory, there's a non-zero chance that I missed something when packaging :/ As I'm in a hurry to leave for the weekend, and have no means to test, issues will only be fixed next week. Apologies in advance...

I had spoken a bit too early, and released too quickly, resulting in a need of 3.17.10 - and apparently this time there had no bug sneaked in in the last minute.

This, as a new feature I#d like to have in 3.18, needs your testing - it will give you the opportunity to build your own templates and even overwrite existing ones with same name - just populate a template folder next to your cookies file in your config directory.
I'm eager to get your feedback - share your success or failure stories, for a better new release!
