Releases for Fivestar

The 1.17 release of Fivestar fixes several critical issues since the 1.15 release. Most notably, anonymous users were unable to rate content since the security fix included in 1.15. This version corrects this problem, as well as serious problems when saving CCK field ratings and displaying average ratings in Drupal 5. Upgrading to the 1.17 release is highly encouraged for all users of Fivestar.

(Note that the 1.16 release that was briefly available had a CVS tagging problem that made it actually contain a copy of the beta 2.x version, this version is the correct archive.)
