A new version of the mod has been released on 31-May-2011. Please use this thread for all kinds of feedback, bug reports etc. related to SoI 0.3.4.x.
Download SoI 0.3.4.1 Installer from Sourceforge.
There is also a 7-zipped version available for those who cannot use the installer.
Note: The download has been updated to 0.3.4.1, fixing one Python error. If you already installed version 0.3.4 from May 31st, you can use this small patch to upgrade your version to 0.3.4.1.
This patch consists largely of numerous bugfixes and gameplay tweaks. Additionally there is the new Religious Victory and a related Great Saint effect. I can only say that Religious Victory works, but at this point I have no idea whether the conditions are realistic / achievable.
Detailed patch notes:
