[gtoad-devel] GeoToad 3.7.2 available for testing (source & Mac only)

[Thomas S. <th...@st...>]

First, apologies to the couple of people who I subscribed to the 
geotoad-devel mailing list: You've either sent me patches or sent me 
bug reports over the last few weeks. If you don't want to be on the 
mailng list (or wish to change your preferences), please see 
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotoad-devel

I'm trying to open up development of GeoToad, and have moved everything 
to SourceForge now.  I will be announcing new releases on the -announce 
and -users mailing list, but will be announcing beta's and test 
versions on the -devel mailing list.

GeoToad 3.7.2 is a bit of an "emergency patch" release given the 
changes with the GC.com
site over the last few weeks. Worse yet, the hard disk in my laptop 
died so I don't have VirtualPC to compile a Windows binary of GeoToad 
3.7.2 with. You will need to install Ruby and download the source 
version (double click on geotoad.rb) if you wish to use it under 
Windows until I can build a windows executable.

Here's what 3.7.2 changes:

* Fix for the new geocaching search page layout.
* CGI.unescapeHTML the geocache name to prevent " names from 
showing up. This may break international characters, but hopefully not.
* Disable shadowfetch, by request of GC.com
* Add delorme-nourl format, by Russell Teague <russell%mtnbike.org>
* Fix for decrypted hint formats. When they have no hint, they will 
show the hint of the last entry. Bug reported by Will Kraml 
<wkraml%a1.net>

Please note that 3.7.2 is not yet posted on the main GeoToad website 
yet. I wanted to get some reader reports that 3.7.2 works first before 
I post t there. To download, please visit the files area:

I should get Windows binaries up by tomorrow.
