Apologies for the delay.  2.5.1.1 is available through github now:

https://github.com/mrash/fwknop/releases

This is actually by design for two reasons:

First, github itself apparently prefixes their release tarballs with the project
name, so the existing github releases create directories like "fwknop-fwknop-2.5.1"
when untar'ing them.  When I create builds for distribution on
cipherdyne.org, the tarballs are created with 'make dist' after checking
out a new tag, and 'make dist' doesn't directly reference a git tag for
building the tarball.

Second, it is probably a good idea to follow the "semantic versioning"
strategy described at: http://semver.org/  Making the tags themselves
match the version number scheme is a little cleaner.

Glad to hear that everything is working.
