Help
A new GIB version was released early this morning.
Many bugs and tweaks. The main ones are:
Tweaks:
Improved rules for raising 1N to 3N with a long minor.
Will no longer respond to 1m with a makeshift 1H when holding only 3 hearts
1D-2C continuations tweaked.
When under pressure after a negative X, GIB may respond 1S with 3 spades.
X, then a cue bid, shows balanced hand, no stop, 18+ points
After partner makes a takeout double of a weak 2, GIB will pass less agressively
New minor forcing logic improved.
Bugfixes:
Fixed a bug where GIB sometimes uses Smolen without perfect shape.
Fixed a bug where GIB would sometimes fail to force to game with a big balanced hand after 1N by partner.
Fixed a bug where GIB would sometimes show incorrect shape after minor suit stayman and subsequent shortness-call.

Has the bug where when holding 17, GIB passes partners opening been fixed?

If you are referring to a situation in which you open 1D and the 17ish point hand has 5 clubs then yes, this has been fixed.

Interesting improvements.
Still, isn't it just too light to double and cuebid with 18 points(HCP?)? Hands like
AKx xx Axxx KQJx would double 1H and cuebid 2H? 17HCP and one point for shape. I think expert standard would be a few HCP stronger here. Somewhere around 20?
