Re: 0.5.12 warning
thanks for the bug report, just fixed it
what was happening was I had forgotten to put a n after each message, and thus messages were becomming jumbled together
0.5.13 will no longer have this problem, in fact I just commit'd the fix to cvs

Mirror?
Someone please mirror this. The program itself is great, the server has to be the most unreliable POS I've tried to download from.

New additions without a place to d/l them?
Why would they announce new versions if the page obviously hasn't been accessible for months?
