If you're using MS Windows, Survex 1.0.25 offers nothing new over 1.0.24.
It fixes a few configuring and packaging problems on Unix and MacOS X.

I've had several reports of problems with the built Linux RPMs we've been
supplying (for Redhat, Mandrake, etc).  The problem is that aven doesn't run
for some people.  I'll spare you the gory technical details - but we're now
only supplying a source RPM - as the download page explains, you can install
this with:

  rpm --recompile survex-1.0.25-1.src.rpm

No versions for RISC OS and MSDOS on 286 or earlier machines this time.
If you're using one of these and want a newer version, feel free to prod
me.

Here's the usual summary of changes in 1.0.25:

* (MacOS X version): hopefully fixed building of aven.

* (Unix version): updated config.guess and config.sub so should build out of
  the box on more Unix platforms.

* (Unix version): Debian: added missing Build-Depends on xlibs-dev.

* (Unix version): RPMs: give up supplying binary RPMs due to apparently
  insurmountable technical problems.

Cheers,
Olly
