The Windows version has never used a Python 2.2 with the package. Of course you can configure it to however you want. On Unix, whatever version is installed can be used to whatever success. > By the way, it would be better to offer the binaries for all platforms > also without the built-in Python version. Perhaps a checkmark option to turn it off in the install, but realistically for manpower in MSW and keeping things properly up to date, there can't be even more packages unless some more people are willing to roll up their sleeves. Do you volunteer? On Linux, the packages are already separate. The parser/viewer, desktop, python, and GTK viewer, are all individual things to install. > The same happens with the other features of the Windows desktop > version: url info is included when not requested, there is no owner id > although requested.

The owner_id and urlinfo are resolved, as you can see if you read through the mailing lists. There was a change of owner_id to owner_id_build in the keys. Sorry to hear you are having problems with beta software, but without a step-to-reproduce bug report, things can't be helped. It is likely something specific to your system, as I have tested it first hand exhaustively on a vast selection of win98 machines. If you do spot a code fix that can be applicable to others, then by all means, a patch is welcome. All the command-line only tools are present. Feel free to use them as you see fit. If you don't like the new viewer or parser, feel free to stay with 1.1.13: archived versions are available to download from plkr.org.
