Yep.

Worth noting that the code is based on the original C++ 
implementation (2.068), and had spent the better part of a year 
or so backporting bug fixes and features from the converted D 
sources.

If there's any regressions in 2.076 or earlier that got fixed in 
later versions, then they could be backported as well.

Iain.
