Thanks.  This year was tough because Apple cut off support for Java 6 and Oracle Java 7 is all that will run on Mountain Lion.  We could not afford to support two Apple versions (JRE6 + JRE7), and Oracle tools do not let you package a JRE 6 in an app bundle.  It's a perfect storm of incompatibility.

We do bug-fix releases between annual majors, but since our software drives an annual contest most of the downloads occur in January.  If we can fix it later in the year, it's a good thing, but most schools (primary users) won't go through the trouble to re-install.

Thanks again for all your work.
