Hi there,

I've finally released version 1.60 of Jump 'n Bump today [4]. See the
ChangeLog [2].

jumpnbump_menu was upstreamed, based on the sources from the latest
Debian tarball [5]. The main Makefile should trigger the configuration
of some relevant paths in the python script so that it works out of
the box when installed.

Feedback and patches would be very welcome if there are things you
think need to be changed. There are two branches that can be
contributed to [6], the master branch will be for the next 1.70
feature release, while the 1.6x branch is for potential bugfix
releases (1.61, etc.). Since they are similar for now, if you have
merge requests they would likely be best made against the master
branch, then cherry-picked to the 1.6x branch if needed.

@Fabian, I see you have a GitHub mirror of the repo [7]. Since you
don't have local changes, you may want to redo it or clone our new
GitHub mirror [8] as I redid all the tags for more consistency.

Regards,
Rémi Verschelde / Akien
