branch.

> included, where RainerScript did not always properly detect syntax
> errors. This is a recommended update for all v3-stable branch users.

> That version contains an important bugfix which prevents a big memory

> Just to make sure I am not misunderstood: 3.18.0 is the current
> v3-stable. Other v3-stables are not officially supported (except, of
> course, via a commercial support contract). 3.16.3 will not receive
any
> patches in the future. So I suggest moving over to 3.18.0. It has been
> tested for over two month and looks quite ready for prime time.

> I would also like to express my sincere thanks to all of you who
> provided bug reports and patches. This is immensely helpful.
> 
> I hope the release is useful. As always, feedback is appreciated.
