If the GIBs do cuebid shortness (in partner's suit), I think it should maybe mention the possibility rather than "promise" the king of diamonds when it bids 5D. Also, the explanation of 5NT could do with a bit of work.

Also the descriptions of all North’s bids after 1S should show 5+ Spades. It would not be responding 1S on just 4-4 in the majors. Or would it, with S:AKQJ H:5432?

Cue bids actually show 1st and 2nd round controls, but that would be too long to put in the explanations. So you're expected to understand that a void is equivalent to an Ace, and a singleton is equivalent to a King.

Fixed in v30. It will show 5+ 4+.

Also fixed "forgotten major length" in

1♣ - 1M
2♦ - 3♣/♦ where 4+ major disappeared in explanation.
