Optik 1.5.1 is now available, just 16 months after I first planned to release it (sigh). (Optik is a command-line parsing library for Python, also known as optparse in the standard library; see http://optik.sourceforge.net/ for blurbs, docs, downloads, etc.) Changes since 1.5: * Fix so the 'merge' script works again (bugs spotted, and mostly fixed, by Andrea 'fwyzard' Bocci). * SF bug #1145594: add 'destroy()' method to OptionParser so applications can explicitly break reference cycles, making life easier for Python's garbage collector. * SF feature #988126: add 'epilog' attribute to OptionParser (and constructor arg): paragraph of text to print after the main option help. * Corrected French translation (po/optik/fr.po) (Laurent Laporte). * Beefed up reference guide. * Backported to Python 2.0/2.1 (Giovanni Bajo).
