AFAIK there isn`t an official 1.17.0 release and the last time I tried it, there were other more serious issues with dialogues in 1.17 so I rolled it back.You're right. I got problems too, but more with XaAES, so Helmut kindly sent to me a version he's working on, which fixes most of the issues I could encounter.
I'm currently working on dialogs again (not finished yet - maybe never ..) Dialogs were actually the primary motivation to start with XaAES. You can always download a current build on http://www.freemint.org/builds But keep a copy of your working version ;) Changes can be reviewed here: http://sparemint.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/freemint/xaaes/Attic/Changes.hk?only_with_tag=helmut-enhancements -- Helmut Karlowski
