OpenSesame 0.27.2 released

sebastiaan

I'm happy to announce the availability of OpenSesame 0.27.2, the second maintenance release in the 0.27 series. The primary aim for this release was to further improve stability, although some new functionality (the runtime for Android!) has slipped through.

I would also like to thank all the people who have contributed to this release. Your patches, bug-fixes, translations, and ideas are invaluable.

Enjoy!

I have also just uploaded version 0.27.2 for OSX (for now 32-bit only), which additionally includes the fix for newline issues in the inline script items. It can be downloaded from http://www.cogsci.nl/dschreij/opensesame-mac/

Great man, I'm really happy we finally fixed the newline issue (fingers crossed)!
