Released version 3.20 of my "draw" simulation software, making the first time I've simultaneously provided Linux, Mac OS X and Windows binaries of the program. There's nothing special added to this release - it's not quicker (in fact, Fedora 10's gcc produced such appallingly slow binaries, I had to use Fedora 8's gcc instead!) and I've done nothing "interesting" with the threaded code this time. That's all coming with the "exciting" draw 4.00 release I'll be working on shortly, where tables could be displayed anywhere between 0.00 (yes, truly instant!) and 0.34 seconds on a quad core Linux box, depending on the numbers drawn.

Monday 2nd February
Fixed a drawn order bug with the Euro Millions Lucky Stars in the "All Winning Numbers" pages - it had been there ever since the first draw :-( Basically, if you chose drawn order, the Lucky Stars would always be displayed in ascending order. This was something like a 3-line fix, but I'd never spotted the problem until I got an e-mail about it today.
