Well a couple people used the 0.7.16wt1 release, including Thom May who had issues with that version number. Consequently I took out the ‘wt’ from the version, but this is still an unofficial, unsupported release.

I pulled in the changes on Thom’s internal branch and grabbed some more low hanging fruit. Don’t ask what methodology I used. It’s magic.

Grab the github branch, or the debs in my launchpad ppa. I’ve only tested this on Ubuntu Karmic, as it goes.
