Discussion
--------------
This release has a number of minor fixes. I've checked it out for 1.17, and it works properly. If you had a bug with the last version and reported it, it should be fixed.

I also made a bunch of internal improvements to make it more maintainable. As part of this, it should now easier to port to Linux or Mac (sorry if you tried before and your work was lost).

I'll be focusing on Vic2 to HoI4 for a while, so if you want 1.18 compatibility once Rights of Man comes out, please help with programming or recruit other programmers to help out. I just can't keep up these days.
