Announcing OpenSTV version 1.3 -- software for computing the single
transferable vote, instant runoff voting, Condorcet, approval, and many
other voting systems. More details and download links are at
http://stv.sourceforge.net.

The most significant changes in this release are the following:
-- Redesigned OpenSTV user interface: (1) User can only run an
election from a saved ballot file (previously, you could use a ballot
file in memory). (2) User can edit/create ballots in a separate
Ballot File Editor window and save them to a file.
-- Can save election results in HTML.
-- More explanatory output for Condorcet elections.
-- Added subclasses for different ballot types to make it easier to
support new types.
-- Changes under the hood that make OpenSTV easier to maintain.

We would greatly appreciate assistance in further developing this
software. We are looking for Python programmers (or people willing to
learn). Please contact me if you are willing to help.

best regards,
Jeff O'Neill
