Hi Eric,
nbdkit 1.16 was released over 3 months ago, and there has been quite a
lot of upstream development since then, so it could be about time for
a new stable release.  Anything in particular that you would like to
get in to 1.18?  Or anything we've added that you have reservations
about supporting long-term?
Rich.
