    SyncTERM v1.7rc1 released!

    This is the first release candidate for SyncTERM v1.7. If there are no bugs, reported in the next week or two, this will become the official SyncTERM release.

    To that end, if you use SyncTERM, please try the rc1 release, and report any bugs you find. If you're not sure if something is a bug, open a support ticket and ask.

    Bugs and Support tickets (and feature requests) are tracked on the SourceForge page at http://sf.net/p/syncterm/ if you create a SourceForge account, you can be notified when I reply/fix bugs, and it really helps in case I need to ask follow-up questions, so please consider making that account and logging in before opening a ticket. That said, I would rather have bug reports as anonymous than not know about issues.
