Maxima 5.17.1 tagged in cvs & uploaded to SF

It appears that I forgot to CC this e-mail to the Maxima
list, so here it is (by the way, I'm aware of the arguments
of the mailman-guy against making a reply automatically
going to the list, but I find them utterly unconvincing ---
systems should serve human needs, and not the other way
around; just to mention, at this occasion).

Hi,

I would like to try 5.17.1, but apparently it is not
on Sourceforge (yet)? (Only 5.17.0)
