Version 3.27.1 released

[fred.d]

Personally I'm really grateful that someone maintains this software. 
It's been so useful to me over the years.  If I could give the beer 
tokens I would, in the meantime a local charity gets something for their 
annual fundraising as per the maintainer's suggestion.

Given that it's effectively maintenance releases, then it's not that 
hard to look occasionally (or if the worst happens, when it stops 
working) so I'm not bothered if there's not a formal announcement. 
Someone will pick it up and send a note out as George did - Thanks George.
