FYI: I'd recommend using rev 1.6.1.6 over 1.6. It has some important
fixes and performs better over-all. It's stable as well.

Sadly, I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on development in
the past months (moving house...) but 1.7 should be out RSN. I've
received some interesting contributions from various people - eruby,
plug-ins, &c - that I'd like to integrate first. Stay tuned...
