    A number of race drawing problems were introduced in 1.8.1.  The problems
    occur using combinations of:

    o  Candidate block width
    o  Multiple candidate columns
    o  Oval offset
    o  Right justified ovals

    Left oval, one candidate column, with 1 or 0 as oval offset (ie what most
    people use) should work as expected.  1.10.3 is in general much better than
    1.8.1-1.10.2, but you can still see the problems Greg is having.  In all
    cases the race will draw oddly but count correctly.  You might see strange
    wrapping effects and ovals in positions slightly off from where you would
    expect for example.

    These bugs have now been fixed, and we will do a release shortly.  All users
    of 1.8.1-1.10.3 should upgrade before generating artwork for real elections.
    Users who have already printed artwork will be safe provided they are happy
    with their current output.

    No lashes for me this time.

    Ken
