Hi everybody, bad news about our bug and feature request tracking!
I found this mail from 24 Aug 2016 and the ONLY item which officially got fixed by now is the spelling of Pat's name. I hope that several of the bugs and requests did get fixed and people just failed to update the tickets. If you have time, please check the tickets and either add a note that the bug still is there or that it has been fixed, if you can confirm either situation. Thank you! Regards, Eric Hi everybody, it seems that tickets on sourceforge easily get forgotten (to be honest, I also check only email, not websites). So here is a list of tickets for which I believe that they can get updated, closed or whatever.
