This release is dedicated to the memory of Christina Grimmie ( Wikipedia Page ; YouTube account ), a musician and singer whom I was fond of and who was killed on 10 June 2016. The name of the new scan “one-big-family” was inspired by the name of this video of hers. Some others of my favourite videos by Grimmie:
The new release features the new scan, fixes several bugs, and incorporates many code cleanups, refactorings and optimisations. More information can be found in the NEWS.txt / NEWS.html. It also adds the transpose-freecell-board.py program (thanks to Manish for the idea) and removes some old board generation programs that are no longer relevant.

“conspiracy-theory” is a reference to the Jewish holiday of Purim, which took place around the time of its release and an old post of mine about it.
Enjoy!
