Yes; I have since used versions withoput the blackout bug.
My feature request is to make the doublclick on a player's line
do something - e.g. the intelligence report with a button for "Meet".

Yes, it does; once you know the shortcut keys it's OK.
Useability would be better still (and surpass that of the
old system) with more keyboard shortcuts.  Typing s to select Settlers
would be nice; hit return instead of Alt-G to change production
to Settlers would be nice as well.
