Scythebill 17.2.0 is now available. This release includes the IOC 15.1 taxonomy, and several bug fixes - mostly for eBird imports. As always, download here, and let me know if you have any problems, either on Facebook or by email.
IOC 15.1 taxonomy
The IOC 15.1 taxonomy was finalized a couple of days ago, and is now available in Scythebill!
Do you like splits, and your life list growing ever larger without leaving the comfort of your armchair? Well then, this IOC taxonomy release is ... not the one for you. The world taxonomies are converging on a taxonomy via the Working Group on Avian Checklists, and in this release IOC has un-split a number of splits that IOC offered, but eBird/Clements (and some other taxonomies) had not.
As a result, you're likely to see your IOC life list shrink a bit. My own dropped by 11 - 13 lumps offset by just 2 splits.

Bug fixes
There's a variety of bug fixes, mostly centered on eBird imports.
- The last version of Scythebill added support for importing "Download my data" exports straight from the .zip file. That support didn't work on Macs; it does now.
- eBird sightings of hybrids should now import successfully.
- eBird checklist .csv files should now import for non-English eBird users. (I don't know if this is a recent change in eBird or a long-standing feature gap in Scythebill.)
- "New for year" import counts were incorrect when your import spanned multiple years.
