There are some really good new Java API's in Swath 1.6, and big improvements to 
ones which already existed.  Swath 1.6 really is a huge jump forward in 
features.

  I will say it's got a number of noticable bugs -- I wouldn't recommend using 
it in a tourney game yet.  However, you can install it in a new subdirectory 
and run a side game with fair success.  

  I like the WaitForText.exec() with a timeout option, this is great for kill 
scripts & world trade/steal scripts.  Also, all existing Java API's now have 
full exception handling so you write a script that uses these API's with much 
greater overall reliability.

far, its awesome!  I really like the learn macro feature, it makes doing 
buydowns a piece of cake.  I haven't tried Rexx scripts on it yet, but I 
hear they work pretty well.  Anyone who has not tried it yet should, its 
really cool
